Both had seven points from three games and North Korea booked a ticket to the finals in January as Group G winners, ahead of Thailand on goal difference.
With seven points, Thailand should also advance to the finals as one of the five best second-placed teams of the qualifying event which ended late last night (March 31).
Ten group winners and five best second-placed teams in the qualifying round join hosts Qatar at the finals with the top three teams representing Asia at the 2016 Olympics.
In a lively match at Rajamangala, both Thailand and North Korea had chances to score but failed to break the deadlock.
In the other Group G match, Cambodia finished third after beating the Philippines 3-1.
Chan Vathanaka scored twice and Soeuy Vissal added the other for Cambodia while Arboleda Barace was on target for the Philippines.
Meanwhile, goal-hungry Japan floored Uzbekistan 5-1 with an explosive performance in a friendly yesterday (March 31), with young guns Takashi Usami and Gaku Shibasaki pointing to a bright future for the Blue Samurai.
Shibasaki scored Japan's third on 80 minutes with an outrageous lob from just inside the Uzbekistan half, before fellow substitute Usami capped a superb cameo by slamming in a fourth soon afterwards.
Toshihiro Aoyama triggered the rout after just six minutes in Tokyo with a sumptuous long-range volley and Shinji Okazaki doubled the home side's lead nine minutes into the second half with a classic poacher's strike.
The floodgates opened after Shibasaki's stunner. Uzbekistan replied two minutes later through Islom Tukhtakhujaev, only for Usami to slalom past three defenders and smash home his first goal for Japan.
There was still time for Kengo Kawamata to register his own maiden goal for his country, completing a perfect week for new coach Vahid Halilhodzic after Friday's 2-0 win over Tunisia.
Five of Japan's seven goals under the Franco-Bosnian have come from substitutes.
"It was a spectacular display," said Halilhodzic, who replaced Javier Aguirre after the Mexican was sacked over allegations of match-fixing dating back to his time in Spain.
"I'd like to say 'Bravo!' to the players. To score five goals is special. Nonetheless we won't get carried away as there is still work to be done." Bangkok Post/AFP
