I would suggest that you look into CIEE charter flights.  They may fly to 
Thailand.  Locally, they are handled by Council Travel in Berkeley.

In general, I'd like to recommend the CIEE flights.  They're the one of the
oldest charter operators around and very reliable.  Their European service
is especially good, serving many major European cities from NY, LA, SF,
and Chicago on major charter airlines.  The prices are quite reasonable.
I believe that they also operate charters to Mexico and South America, and
it wouldn't surprise me if they also flew to Asia.

I know that the CIEE flights can be booked directly through the CIEE offices
in New York, and also through Council Travel offices, which can be found in
most major university cities and towns.  You may be able to book them through
other agents, too.
