What's different
Both start with the same th, so it's no help here. Listen to the end. Both end in a hum through the nose. Thin closes it off at the front, with the tongue tip on the ridge behind the teeth, so it stops crisply. Thing closes it with the back of the tongue, so it rings lower and further back, with nothing after it: there's no g to listen for.
American voices often add a second clue: before ng, the vowel rises toward the ee of see, so thing can sound close to "theeng", while thin keeps a short, relaxed i. Japanese ん at the end of a word is made far back, close to ng, which is why thin said as katakana シン can sound like thing.
NG는 코 안쪽에서 울리고, N은 앞쪽에서 또렷하게 끝나요.
