Thai kids and teenagers are just as diverse in their tastes and preferences as other kids - she might be into junk food completely, for example. the junk food shop at our school must be the best business of the century as far as I see and fast food restaurants are packed out with teenagers. I would say you can expect anything.

if she is scheduled to attend classes at school, she is in for a few major shocks. unless she has been attending an international style school, she will be used to copying, repeating, and listening to the teacher's input. she won't be used to teamwork, projects, independent thinking, debating, putting forward her own suggestions, or making up her own timetable. she might be shocked at the outfits people wear at school. I would predict she will need considerable help fitting in and feeling comfortable.

I don't remember if you have mentioned this - is this the kind of exchange program involving your own daughter? (like, they will attend classes and do things together, and then she will come to Thailand as well?)
