A couple of things that caught my eye:

 

• Several positions are flagged as being for Holland America and they only want Thai nationals.  Is that a hint at where they're heading when they first start cruising again?  Perhaps it's corporate preference?  Or perhaps it's just a coincidence?
• From the Dining Service Attendant job description:

In the Main Dining Room the DSA will support the operation by greeting guests with a warm smile, escorting guests to their tables, running food from the galley to waiter stations, resetting tables, and delivering orders for In Room Dining.

 

(emphasis mine)

 

I was thinking about how hard it is to figure out if my friendly DSA is actually smiling when he/she is wearing a you know what.

A mask? No problem, hospitality and warmth are shared with the eyes.

Blind people can tell if you're smiling when you talk. We can, too. Easy peasy.

It's all in the voice.

Ever get a phone call...and after you hear the first 2 words....you know how it's gonna go?

These days people are often muddled and/or hard to hear due to wearing a mask. As a former hotel person with Warwick NYC I regard the eyes now than ever as the best indicator of a sincere spirit of hospitality. 😉 YMMV

You are correct....that's why they say "the eyes are the window to the soul".

If you look at the eyes when someone is smiling, you can immediately tell if the smile is phony.

Perhaps visas are easier or otherwise easier for them to travel. Perhaps easier to communicate with existing Thai staff if their English is lacking and they don't have to interact much with passengers. Perhaps that is where a training center is? Who knows?
