For lots of dialects of English, including most American dialects, the 'u' in 'put' is a high rounded lax vowel but the 'u' in gun is a mid central vowel (the sound at the beginning of 'erm' for British folks). For other dialects there isn't a contrast.
I've seen descriptions of Thai that say it contrasts these two sounds and others that say it does not. Maybe, like English, it depends on the region.
