FWIW, I think there are shops that unlock phones at a cost, so you can use your new Thai sim card while you're there. I'm sure there are also shops in Thailand where you can have your current phone unlocked at a fraction of the cost it will take to unlock it in the US.
I have two phones, one is a Manila-based simcard for when my wife contacts me (she's in Manila) via text, and I have that prepaid simcard on roaming so I just reload it once in a while to keep it active. The other is my US based phone with a US based simcard for replying back, making calls, etc.
When I fly back there I will just use my current Manila-based simcard or get a new one if the old one conks out, and then reload it so I can use it there. HTH
