Don't have much specific information about fire ground activity or management in Thailand, however, I have been quite involved with the breathing and accountability aspects there.
The fire service in more established areas of Thailand attempt to follow NFPA standards. This includes the use of NFPA compliant SCBA and adherence to NFPA SCAM or NFPA 1981. In real life they start out with good intentions, but follow the standards less and less as time goes on. Incident command is also supposed to follow NFPA.
In the segments of the fire service that I have worked, Thailand (believe it or not) is one of the most progressive countries in SE Asia. Can only think of Singapore to be more progressive, even though Thailand tend to spec in better equipment for fire fighter protection .... again NFPA.
Outside of the more established areas, I can only assume that no or few rules are followed.
