I already had the correct protologue in my database so I checked it already but I should again emphasize that with Araceae it is vital to take close-ups of the inside of the spathe too as they hold key characters that distinguish between closely related species. The conclusion remains the same, likely smitinandii but for 100 % certainty pictures of the innerparts are needed.

But without details of the inner parts (the true flowers) it is not possible to fully confirm. The shape and position of the staminodes etc. are unique for each species so with Araceae it is often helpful, or even vital, for a ID to cut the spathe open to reveal the innerparts. My iniial response was under the assumption the plant was Indian, I overlooked the Thailand location as I did not expect pictures taken in Thailand to be posted in this group.
