Local media reported that police are sending a case of "manslaughter in the line of duty" to prosecutors to consider.
The five unharmed migrants and the two who were discharged from hospital, are being held at a police station in Ranong, and will be charged with illegal entry into Thailand.
NGO officials say the bodies are with the military and they have not been able to access the survivors.
Human Rights Watch researcher Sunai Phasuk said it's important that a quick and transparent investigation be conducted into the incident. "We need to get a clear account of what the situation was," he said.
