Now all you need is someone to make an extension of it or add it to kmaps.tcz

Added on my todo list.

edit: If you're only looking for the right keymap when in X, you could install Xorg. It uses different keymaps from the console/Xvesa, and includes a lot more. Seems to have a thai keymap as well.

Option      "XkbLayout" "th"

Two thai keymaps added.

# Thai/Eng mode toggle by Left-Alt+Shift
# Single Thai Character can be type by Hole Right-Alt (Shift) + Character

The info above, left-alt and shift, is only valid in the console. In X it could be something different.

I'm not familiar with the problem, but google gives this:
