India is 26 years old, fourth seed, down 0-5 despite sandy performance.
He impressed in the opening round and seemed to have arrested Seesondee at the back foot with his measured approach, adhering to the counter-attack strategy.
However, the judges decided in a round voice for Thai, causing Simranjit to be a little reckless in the second half.
Indians pay a hyper-aggressive approach in the first few seconds when Seesondee managed to connect interesting left hooks.
The defensive error in the second puts payment to the chance of Simranjit and even though he gave him all in the third round, it did not need the work of demolition to exceed the limit.
However, it is not to be prostrated after a round decision.
The 29-year-old Thailand is the world championship winner twice and also won silver in the 2018 Asian game.
