Looking at this Thai Vegetable Soup recipe I am guessing it is an intrepretation as they do not use yogurt in anything.
Some health minded Thai chefs are using soy milk in place of coconut milk. I have tried this with some coconut essense (not flavouring) and it is quite nice and has a nice thick consistency.
Many Thai soups (including vegetable soups) are a clear broth like Tom Yum Goong (Hot and Sour Shrimp soup) which can be made with any seafood, meats, fowl, or veggies. I make a Tom Yum Broth with Thai Won Ton that is very flavourful and no coconut milk

Yes in the south of Thailand where there are coconut trees just like in South India, but many Thai curries are dry curries sans the coconut milk. Many Thai dishes are stir-fries, salads, vegetables, soups, many without coconut milk.
