Actually, neither. You have one first language. You can also be fluent in other languages. The key would be where you grew up. If you grew up in Thailand with Japanese parents, your first language is probably Thai. If you grew up in Japan with Thai parents, your first language is probably Japanese.

ONE, but the whole sentence is strange. You are listing two languages and saying it is the "first" language. While I understand what you are saying, first_language is a collective noun, but you should rephrase it entirely.
"I speak Japanese and Thai natively."
"Japanese and Thai are my native languages."

The first one. They're two languages, so it would be plural.

Number one is correct.
Japanese is one language
Thai is another language.
So you have two languages
which are your first language.
Hope it helps!
