There are some biased posts here. First of all, the boxing level among top Thais really depends on the fighter. It's not accurate to say that they all have poor or excellent boxing skills.
I would not consider Yodkitsada to have good boxing for example and he is top-level in the stadiums. There are quite a significant number of fighters with a similar style.
However, when people say thais in general have poor hands, just because one fighter has poor hands, it's also quite ignorant because there are many thais with good hands. In fact, there are not many kickboxers who clearly outperform, or never was outboxed by Thais in the hands department. Out of the current generation, I can only think of Wei Rui and Takeru.
Petrosyan was outboxed by Petchmorakot once, Marat Grigorian by Sittichai a couple of times, Qiu Jian Liang if i recall correctly was outboxed by Jomthong at some point (which he later avenged). Tenshin was quite competitive against Rodtang (I thought Tenshin did better, but some people disagree).
I am a bit critical towards Gabriel Varga's video. First, he sparred lower level guys as he said. Of course lower level guys will be lower level with any weapon, in general. His video gives the impression that Thais have poor hands, when he would probably have been outboxed if he had fought Petchpanomrung or Kaew.
