Thai people who fight in Muay Thai are usually put in the sport at a very early age, all the way through puberty

They kick logs/solid objects on their shins which creates microfractures resulting in the development in their shin bone however thai men is about 5'7ft

How come they aren't taller if they consistently do this?

what difference does it make if non-fighters have the same height

Density and length are not the same

Repetitive striking of shins against hard objects leads to microfractures and subsequent bone remodeling which affects the density.

Height growth is determined by the lengthening of long bones like the femur and tibia

bonesmashing is not a miracle cure it only helps genetically predisposed people to improve their bone mass
