The scientific name of the Thailand blue tarantula is Cyriopagopus lividus. I suppose that could be what you have, but a pic with better lighting would help. Like you said, it seems to be in rough shape, so hopefully you'll be able to feed it up and get it to molt soon, then identifying it should be easier.

I googled Thai blue and it came up and the cobalt blue, I asked him was it this and he said no. He said he would give me the Latin name later via msg. I’ve been ignored. I just had to take it home but I really want to make sure I have the best environment for it. Feel really bad for it. It’s been curled up stressed out.

I don't know if this pic is in your enclosure or in the enclosure that it was in when you got it, but there are some things I would change that might help. Most Asian fossorial T's like deep, moist substrate to burrow in, so I would get rid of the chips of bark and replace with something more suitable. Put a piece of cork bark in there big enough for the T to hide under and make a starter burrow underneath it, and be sure there's a full water dish. That's it - care for these guys is pretty simple. The T should start burrowing and making itself more comfortable. If you still have questions start a thread so you can post pics of the entire setup and we'll help.

This was a temporary setting until I made up the enclosure. It’s now in exactly what you’ve said. But it’s still very stressed I’m assuming as it’s under the cork bark, it has webbed slightly when I’m sleeping. But the legs are just over the carapace. I wasn’t planning on buying anything until I saw this one and how rough it looked. I’ve also got even better stuff coming from the spider shop with a better enclosure too. So hopefully once that arrives and I get it into it and leave it a while it will settle better. For now I’m gonna leave it here until it moults.

If this is supposed to be a Haplopelma lividum, then it is extremely "rubbed". This spider has almost no colouration at all, so that one cannot tell from this photo which species it might be. You should just wait for the next moult.
