Home market is the "captive market", since many travellers from the home country would pay more just to fly the national carrier. Considering that pretty much all legacy carriers in Asia/Europe/Africa/South America do this, why are you suprised?
As mentioned above, it is typical market practice!
If you want cheaper ex thailaind, switch to the competitors from nearby countries.
