First thermal energy (heat) is not the same thing as temperature. Thermal energy is internal energy held by the molecules but the temperature is the is the effect of the heat. Temperature is the measurement of the heat energy. Also, thermal energy depends on the size of the matter but the temperature isn't, it's just the average heat energy held by the matter.
Hey there,
I have an example,
temperature is average energy per unit of measurement 
total thermal energy is the energy as a whole 
One situation is that one object is considerably larger than the other one, they have the same average temperature, but in whole, the one with larger mass also contains more thermal energy.

Hope this helps :))
