So does this mean that THAI banks send my bank holdings statement to my home country every year?.

Just wait till you see the annual set up fee

The system is based upon FATCA - the system that makes it very difficult for Americans to open accounts in Thailand because banks don't want to have to deal with the hassle.  The most likely outcome is that it's going to be much harder (if not impossible) for other foreigners to open Thai accounts.

No.  Just account balance and gains (capital + income) for the year.
