Default What's the difference between Thai and Indian curry?

Cumin, fenugreek, coriander seed, fennel, cardamon, asafoteida, and
turmeric for Indian.

Galangal, kaffir, lemongrass, basil, fish sauce, and shrimp paste
for Thai.

Meat and veggie-wise, they're not that different.

Somebody will undoubtedly try and refine this and try and tell me
I'm wrong, but that's it in a nutshell.

They're not interchangeable.
