On further checking, I think it may be Lantana camara subsp. aculeata or Lantana indica.

But difficult to say anything with these images. Side view of the inflorescence is required for id as per keys in Flora of Pakistan.

Looks different from Lantana involucrata as per

I have doubts if Lantana involucrata is found in Thailand.

As per discussions at Lamiaceae (incl. Verbenaceae) Fortnight :: Verbenaceae :: Lantana (white) :: cultivated :: DVMAY102/102 , it may a cultivar of Lantana montevidensis (Spreng.) Briq. if used as a ground cover.

As per Lucid Central, this species has been widely cultivated as a garden ornamental. Various modern cultivars and hybrids, which are often sterile, are still planted as groundcovers in gardens. The most commonly seen include lilac-coloured and white-coloured cultivars that are similar to the typical form of the species, except that they are sterile. Sterile cultivars with golden-yellow flowers are also common, but these are actually hybrids involving Lantana montevidensis and Lantana camara . These hybrids are usually named after one of the two parent species (e.g. Lantana montevidensis 'Pot of Gold' and Lantana camara 'New Gold').
