No one has to thaw him.
He's not stuck in the ice.
He did the same thing Arthas did when he first acquired the power - encased himself on the Frozen Throne to consolidate his power.
Doesn't mean he's stuck there.

He probably put himself in microwave and process to "Defrost" himself when he knew she was coming. That way he can cover up himself acting like he's not that weak to break out the ice.
More importantly, why is a Lich King no longer necessary? If Tirion and Bolvar had just destroyed the Helm of Domination at the end of Icecrown Citadel, would the way to Shadowlands have opened?
Well, to be fair, there are few situations where you use the word, and since it's basically slang at this point meaning defrost it's more or less the same for me, the only time I hear people say it is in cars during winter. And again, it's not everyone, but it's a real thing. Language is a funny thing.
There's actually a comedian that does a lot of mid-west based comedy stuff, Charlie Berens, he's on youtube. Look up Mid-West driving school if you want, he makes a joke about it.
i think that when he is encased in ice he has acces to different lich king abilities, like may be spying on the world or something like that or may be it allows him to connect with shadowlands, or even recharging powers. who knows?
maybe Thawim unthawed (or thawed) Bolvar the Lich King?
Since Arthas broke the prison of Ner'zhul the ice seems to have worked as a form of hibernation capsule. Arthas froze himself and thawed himself when he was finished cleaning house in his head.
Bolvar also froze himself at the end of the Lich King cinematic so he can likely thaw himself whenever he pleases, it is no longer the prison it was in the past.
Being in the frozen cask seems to be a kind of developmental state - temporary, and only there while the Helm of Domination and its wearer go through the mental process of integrating with the Helm's apparent consciousness and connects the wearer to the hive-mind of the Scourge. Once this is complete the icy cocoon breaks and the new Lich King is fully joined with the Helm and thus the Scourge, and is the recipient of the power it grants. Like Arthas before him, Bolvar freed himself after a time.
"We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
3 hints to surviving MMO-C forums:
1.) If you have an opinion, someone will say that it is wrong
2.) If you have a source, there will be people who refuse to believe it
3.) If you use logic, it will be largely ignored

I'm from Ireland, but have lived the major part of my growing years in the Pacific NW. Here it's Coke is Coke only. Not Pepsi, not Fanta or anything else. Just Coke. Different varieties are referred to by their specific name (IE Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper). Collectively though, "soda" is anything carbonated like soda water, seltzer and includes carbonated sugary drinks (like Coke or Sprite). BUT... pop refers specifically to the sugary variety and not soda water or seltzer/tonic waters.
So, basically (at least in this area) All pop is soda, but not all soda is pop. Kind of like a Khakis/Chinos thing.
