Tongues are only praise and worship to God in another language (which should be interpreted in public). Men do the talking, God does the listening and enjoying. That is all speaking in tongues is (or at least should be)

The bible does not say it's just thanks giving..
But here is the real point, interpretations are for the church to be edified.
Prophecies edify the church too. Neither are "thank you Lord" type of sentences, they are churchward type of sentences how else can they be edifying to the church?
God does not need tongues to know someone is thanking Him. The point Paul is making is not the purpose of tongues is so you can thank God...who needs a language we don't understand to thank him?
The point rather is that only God understands it
