In Thai, the final consonants [-p], [-t], and [-k] are unvoiced and not plosive.
This means you need to position your mouth to pronounce the consonant, but without releasing air or producing an explosion sound.
In practice, this gives sounds that resemble brief and dry stops of the vowel that precedes it.
