What are the advantages of a thought experiment?
A thought experiment isn't an experiment really, so does not compete with physical experiments. It is more of one way scientists explore ideas with each other by posing hypothetical situations. The advantage of that is that it is free to do, the only equipment it requires is a mind, and even the most impossible experiments can be proposed. e.g. "What would happen if Saturn were moved to Mar's orbit?"
