The affected model is the older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro, sold mainly between September 2015 and February 2017.
"Customers are to refrain from bringing the affected models either as hand-carry or in checked baggage until the battery has been verified as safe or replaced by the manufacturer," the airline said in a statement on Sunday.
Apple's announcement this month came on the heels of an order by the United States' Federal Aviation Administration banning the laptops on commercial flights in the US.
Thai Airways has also banned passengers from taking the laptops on board all flights or in checked baggage.
