Why did the Japanese bypass Thailand and conquer Malaysia and Singapore?

The Japanese did invade Thailand. But because of the large number of Japanese sympathizers in the Thai government and the strength of the Japanese military, the fighting was very short: despite fierce resistance by Thai border units, Thailand folded in a matter of hours. From that point forward, Thailand acted as an Axis power in World War II and her military fought alongside the IJA against the Allies in Burma.

Why did the Americans demand the Japanese withdrawed from indo-china?
The US may have demanded Japan withdraw it's military forces from mainland China during the 1930's; But Indo-China (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia-Southeast Asia) was occupied during World War 2. Demanding Japanese Forces to leave Indochina, would also be demanding Japan to with draw it's forces from the Philippines, Wake Island, Guadalcanal, Bougainville, New Guinea, Singapore, Malaysia, Burma, Thailand, India, East Pakistan, and to remove it's Naval Forces from the Australian/New Zealand areas. A "Demand" is a Political Action. "War" is the accomplishing of a "Political Action" by other than political means. WW2 was fought to REMOVE the Axis Powers from occupied countries, and then have them (the Axis Powers) surrender or be totally destroyed; so that they would NOT and could NOT conquer other nations again.
