The words at the end of sentences like na, reu, ka, krap, mai, chai mai seem to allow the listener more of an opportunity to digest what is being said

Indeed. In my years of teaching there's always been the new guy who comes to the office. They've been in the country 5-6 years. They immediately want to bust it out. They go up to the Thai teachers and begin spewing. They obviously rehearsed and been through it a few times. The Thais nervously smile and nod through the show.

 

I don't get what the purpose of it is. They're not particularly impressed, and there's none of the development that'd be realized through real, unrehearsed, back and forth conversation.
