This statistic shows the degree of urbanization in Thailand from 2013 to 2023. Urbanization means the share of urban population in the total population of a country. In 2023, 53.61 percent of Thailand's total population lived in urban areas and cities. The migration of the Thai population to metropolises and urban areas Thailand is in the midst of transforming itself from a predominantly rural country to an increasingly urban one. Today, over half the population lives in urban areas, which is much higher than most bordering countries. While Thailand's urbanization rates are still low compared to more developed nations - which can reach levels over 90 percent, this transformation in Thailand is still significant, especially as most of this growth occurs and is expected to occur in the Krung Thep area, better known as Bangkok, capital and largest city in Thailand. Krung Thep is now home to more than 5.6 million people. The number of tourists and overnight visitors to the city is also on the rise, and Bangkok is usually among the ten most visited cities in each year, with over 20 million visitors in 2023. This development will place increasing demands on urban infrastructure, as the city grows and grows. The second largest city in Thailand is Nonthaburi, but it only has around one quarter of a million inhabitants, a significant difference. Despite the country’s rural but shifting population, Thailand's fertility rate is low and well below the natural replacement rate, and population growth in general is thus only minimal. Interestingly, despite this migration, agriculture has retained a stable share in GDP generation, actually increasing slightly over time, while the contributions of industry and services to GDP have also remained relatively the same.

In 2024, the capital of Thailand, Bangkok, was the most popular tourist destination for foreign visitors to the kingdom, amounting to around **** million visitors. This was followed by Chonburi, with approximately **** million foreign tourists.

The Thai real estate market, valued at $54.90 billion in 2025, exhibits robust growth potential, projected at a 5.41% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is fueled by several key factors. Firstly, Thailand's burgeoning tourism sector continuously drives demand for hospitality and residential properties, particularly in popular destinations like Bangkok, Phuket, and Pattaya. Secondly, a growing middle class and increasing urbanization contribute significantly to the residential segment's growth. Furthermore, government initiatives aimed at infrastructure development and foreign investment further stimulate market activity. The industrial and logistics segment also experiences strong growth due to Thailand's strategic position in Southeast Asia's manufacturing and supply chains. However, challenges such as fluctuating interest rates, potential economic slowdowns, and regulatory changes present potential restraints on market growth. The market is relatively concentrated, with major players like Pruksa Real Estate, LPN Development, and Sansiri dominating the landscape. While the residential segment currently holds the largest market share, the hospitality and industrial segments are poised for significant growth in the coming years. The diverse geographic distribution of projects across major cities reflects the balanced growth pattern of the market. The forecast period (2025-2033) anticipates a steady increase in market value, driven by continued economic growth and investment in infrastructure.

Thai Street Food Restaurant Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global Thai Street Food Restaurant market size reached USD 13.8 billion in 2024, reflecting the robust global appetite for authentic and innovative Thai culinary experiences. The market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period, reaching USD 26.8 billion by 2033. This growth trajectory is underpinned by rising international tourism, increasing urbanization, and a growing consumer preference for ethnic and experiential dining. The expanding global footprint of Thai cuisine, coupled with evolving consumer lifestyles and the proliferation of food delivery platforms, continues to drive the market forward, as per our latest research findings.

One of the primary growth factors for the Thai Street Food Restaurant market is the surging global demand for authentic and diverse culinary experiences. Consumers across the globe are increasingly seeking out unique food offerings that reflect local cultures and traditions, and Thai street food, known for its vibrant flavors and variety, perfectly fits this trend. The proliferation of food-centric social media platforms has further amplified the visibility of Thai street food, making dishes like Pad Thai, Som Tum, and Mango Sticky Rice household names far beyond Thailand’s borders. The rise of food tourism, where travelers prioritize culinary experiences as a key part of their journeys, has also contributed significantly to the increased patronage of Thai street food restaurants both within Thailand and in major cities worldwide.

Another significant driver is the evolution of the restaurant industry itself, particularly the adoption of technology and innovative service models. The widespread integration of digital ordering, contactless payments, and third-party delivery services has revolutionized the way consumers access Thai street food. These advancements have not only enhanced convenience and accessibility but also enabled restaurants to expand their customer base beyond traditional dine-in patrons. In addition, the growth of cloud kitchens and virtual brands specializing in Thai street food has further diversified the market, allowing operators to optimize costs and scale rapidly in response to fluctuating demand. Coupled with an increasing focus on food safety and hygiene, these technological and operational innovations are propelling sustained growth in the sector.

Furthermore, the Thai Street Food Restaurant market is benefiting from supportive government policies and initiatives aimed at promoting Thai cuisine as a key element of national identity and tourism. The Thai government, through various culinary diplomacy programs, has actively supported the international expansion of Thai restaurants, providing training, certification, and marketing assistance to entrepreneurs. This institutional backing, combined with a strong diaspora community and a global network of Thai chefs, has facilitated the proliferation of Thai street food establishments in regions such as North America, Europe, and the Middle East. These efforts have not only elevated the profile of Thai cuisine but have also fostered innovation, leading to the emergence of fusion concepts and regional specialties tailored to local tastes.

Regionally, the Asia Pacific market continues to dominate the Thai Street Food Restaurant landscape, accounting for the largest share of global revenues in 2024. This dominance is attributed to the deep-rooted street food culture in Thailand and neighboring countries, high population density, and a vibrant tourism sector. However, significant growth is also being observed in North America and Europe, where increasing multiculturalism, rising disposable incomes, and a growing appetite for ethnic foods are driving expansion. In these regions, urban centers with large student populations and cosmopolitan demographics are particularly fertile ground for Thai street food concepts. Meanwhile, the Middle East & Africa and Latin America are emerging as promising markets, buoyed by urbanization and a young, adventurous consumer base.

The value of consumer expenditure on hotel accommodation in Thailand in 2019 amounted to approximately ***** billion U.S. dollars. Such expenditures had slightly increased compared to the previous year. In the same year, the restaurant and hotel sector contributed around *** billion Thai baht to Thailand’s GDP. Tourism has been one of the major contributors to the country’s GDP.

Hotels in Thailand 

The hotel industry in Thailand mainly relies on the tourism sector, which has shown an increase in revenue in recent years. Major Thai hotel chains include Centara, Erawan, Dusit, Onyx and Minor. Some of these chains, especially for Centara and Dusit in particular, have expanded internationally to other holiday destinations. More than half of the hotels in Thailand are mid-ranged or budget accommodation types, which is the result of a booming budget hotel industry.

Thailand as a Destination 

Thailand has become one of the top destinations for travelers around the globe. In 2018, Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, was the most visited city in the world in terms of international overnight visitors. The main tourist destinations in Thailand include Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket and Chiangmai. When compared to other provinces, these destinations generated the highest revenue from the tourism businesses in recent years. As of 2019, Phuket had the highest number of tourism related businesses , which is unsurprising given that the city is well-known for its beaches, cultural old towns and a bustling night life.

Here are a few use cases for this project:
