Back when I did Thaiboxing, out of the hundreds of guys I trained with, I can only think of one fighter who actually trained without hand wraps. Everyone thought he was insane; he always just said that he didn't need them, and I never saw him with an injured hand.
It's rare to find a guy that doesn't need hand wraps. Most people, if they go through a full session of Thaiboxing training without hand wraps, will injure their wrist.
Out of all the times I injured my hands or wrists, it was because I wasn't wearing wraps. There were times when I was asked to demonstrate something to beginners on the punch bag, and I'd have to say "I haven't got my wraps on yet, get someone else".
Having thick wrists and hands would be great if you plan on punching people in the face every day without wearing hand wraps, but it won't be very beneficial in a sport that not only allows you to wear hand wraps, but actually makes you wear hand wraps.
