Thailand population statistics
- Updated
Thailand's population is measured in two main ways. International sources such as the World Bank publish modelled mid-year estimates of everyone living in the country. Thailand's Department of Provincial Administration publishes the number of people in the civil registration system, which is the basis for most province-level figures. This section says which measure each page uses.
