I think the secret is to try not to raise the knee to high. Like trying to smash the ball of the foot directly from the ground in a straight line to the target. Try to make it feel like your throwing a cross, but with your feet.
A damaging front kick would be a great addition to a Muay Thai arsenal.

Though do keep in mind, karate front kick and tkd front kick are differet, though they are executed in similar ways, TKD uses the ball of the feet, karate likes to aim high for the chin, and we use the heel to kick. Honestly, while I find tkd has a lot of useless kick, the ones that i would use compliments karate very very well, simply because style of Karate I am in really dont use too much kicks, so there is the added element of suprise, and most people i spar with does not expect a kick like that at all
..
oh and another kick i like from TKD, is the twist kick... works very very well if you lead with with a fake round house
