We also greet in the same manner as Indians and many Asians. Many Thai words rooted in Bali and Sanskrit. That’s why many Thai words sound similar to Indian words.

If you're a glutton for historical linguistics, it proposes some fun research into the allophony. If we did find word-final aspirated phones, there are implications for phonetics and semantics as far as what constitutes a "word", and why the concept of the "word" is so very different in agglutinating versus non-agglutinating languages.

I think another complication is that unaspirated plosives tend to sound to English speakers as if they were voiced - we use aspiration in English as a marker of lack of voice, since it isn't allophonic (doesn't carry meaning no its own). Hence, an English speaker repeating spoken Thai would likely pronounce "pat" as "bat", and "phat" and "pat. Do you know whether Thai has word-final aspirated consonants?
