You can make your own thin spaces putting something like this in your 
preamble:

\def\mythinspace{\kern 0.1em }
\def\myverythinspace{\kern 0.05em }

You can make negative thin spaces as well. The space between ...em and 
the closing bracket is *very* important.

P.S. \thinspace or \, is defined in TeX as {\kern 0.16em }.
