Although the question appears to make sense, the questioner has not defined what they mean by 'a thought'. And does s/he mean 'conscious thoughts', 'unconscious thoughts', or both?
Mind you, with our current level of technology, and knowledge about how the brain works, it is in any case more or less impossible to give a definitive answer.
So here's "an" answer, which may or may not be relevant, depending on what the person asking the question had in mind:
For example, about 10Mbits of information are transmitted along each optic nerve PER SECOND. But is transmission speed the same thing as processing speed?
Research reported on the MIT website indicates that under certain circumstances, one measure of processing speed has registered as few as 60 bits per second. And on the other hand, the researcher has made it plain that he was not testing for the maximum processing speed across a variety of tasks. So we cannot assume that his results were representative of brain processing in general.
An estimate on the University of Alberta website suggests that the average "clock speed" of neurons in the brain is a mere 200 firings per second - compare that with the clock speed of even a cheap desktop computer in 2010.
But that's only part of the story, because the brain of an average healthy human being includes around 100 billion neurons, all connected to something like 1000 (or more) other neurons.
100 billion neurons all firing around 200 times per second gives a capacity of 20 million billion firings per second.
Having said that, brain scans show only specific areas of the brain operating at a measurable level of activity at an given time. But does that necessarily mean that the other areas are doing nothing?
What it may show is that the DEGREE of activity is related to the nature of the task, and therefore will be variable throughout the day (and night).
So like I said, the question makes sense. But that doesn't mean we can give a nice neat answer right now.
The parts of the human control system include the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The brain regulates thoughts, emotions, and body functions, while the spinal cord relays messages between the brain and the rest of the body. Nerves carry signals from the brain to muscles and organs, allowing for movement and coordination.
The brain is considered the creative organ of the human body. It controls our thoughts, imagination, and ability to generate new ideas.
The human brain is the most complex thing in existence (so far). It can make 100 trillion calculations per second. The human brain is the most complex thing in existence (so far). It can make 100 trillion calculations per second.
The human brain belongs to the nervous system.
Human brain is well developed as compared to goat brain.
Well considering that the homosapien uses only 10% of its whole brain capacity there are many ways that suggest a human is dumb. But from that 10% about 500 trillion thoughts go throught the human brain/ second
The brain could be considered the second most important part of the human body after the heart, as it controls all bodily functions, thoughts, and emotions.

The brain is considered the creative organ of the human body. It controls our thoughts, imagination, and ability to generate new ideas.
The power of positive thinking affects the human brain by diverting thoughts of things that can go wrong and focusing on the things that can go right.
The human brain on average takes in 11 million bits of information per second. However the brain is only aware of just 40 of those bits of information per second.
The perception of time by the human brain can vary depending on factors such as attention, emotion, and age. Generally, the brain processes time at a rate of about 1 second per second, but this perception can be influenced by external stimuli and internal experiences.

The brain is the major organ that controls all functions and actions of the human body. It receives and processes sensory information, initiates motor responses, regulates physiological processes, and is responsible for thoughts, emotions, and consciousness.
No, it is not possible for one human to directly control another human using only their brain. Our thoughts and intentions cannot control the actions or behaviors of another person against their will.
