The publisher labels the counts \"จำนวน (คน)\" (number of persons) and titles the series \"arrivals\"; it does not publish a definition stating whether repeat entries by the same person are counted separately. Values marked P by the publisher are preliminary and may be revised. ThailandStats takes each year from the most recent release that reports it as its own year where one is available, and records the release for every value.",
