International career
Of Zambian descent through his father, and Thai descent through his mother, Mexes pledged his international allegiance to the latter nation in early 2025, having trained with the Thailand under-17 side in the same year.[2] He is not eligible to represent Wales, the nation his father featured fifty-nine times for, as his father was not born in the nation.[2]
Called up to the Thailand squad for the 2025 AFC U-17 Asian Cup by manager Jadet Meelarp, Mexes scored a consolation goal in a 4–1 loss to eventual tournament winners Uzbekistan in the competitions opening game.[7]

A left-winger, Mexes was also a 100m sprinter as a child, and was an under-13 champion in Essex.[8] He is one of the fastest footballers worldwide, running the 100m sprint in 11.1 seconds.[9]
