Hello,
Your question is not difficult as you might think. But as you have asked, my answer is "Thanks" is informal word and can only be used with your friends and the person younger than you.
On the other side, "Thank you" is a formal form of thanks which you should use when talking to your elders or the person you don't know.
However, these days people also use "Thanks

QuangtrungvtvWhy do we use :thanks is a plural noun:
Thanks !!! ... Thank you ?
I give you my thanks is shortened to Thanks.
But thank is also a verb. to thank is to give thanks.
I thank you is shortened to Thank you.
