Not a great deal, thumb is attached a little different, Muay Thai gloves got a little more padding on the wrists for blocking kicks.

Boxing gloves are typically larger and more cushioned, with a focus on distributing the impact of punches evenly across the glove's surface. They often have a thumb attachment to prevent accidental eye gouging. Muay Thai gloves, on the other hand, are smaller, more compact, and have less padding. This allows Muay Thai fighters to utilize their hands for clinching, grappling, and intricate striking techniques such as elbow and knee strikes. Muay Thai gloves also lack the thumb attachment to allow for greater dexterity during clinching maneuvers.
