My advice - fly a different carrier.
There's zero choice unfortunately. Every single carrier that flies domestic in Thailand is 5 or 7 kg. I guess you can stay in America if you refuse to fly them. Nearly all non-US carriers have weight limits on carry-ons but not so many actually enforce it in practice.
