Lasers are also thermal weapons, but their application and appearance differs too much from the others (and many popular inaccurate depictions), that implying thermal weapons with them is poor choice (unless they actually set things on fire).
Including things like flamethrowers, napalm, weapons using incendiary or white phosphorus, and so on.
