The main reason for this difference in the walls of the stomach and intestines is that of digestion and absorption.
The wall of the stomach is designed so as to facilitate the process of digestion. The stomach requires to store the food and to introduce various digestive juices into the food, which requires the walls of the stomach to be thick.
The walls or the lining of the intestine is thin because it is used in the process of absorption of nutrients and minerals from the food into the blood stream.
