The total population in Thailand was estimated at 66.1 million people in 2023, according to the latest census figures and projections from Trading Economics. This dataset provides - Thailand Population - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

Population density per pixel at 100 metre resolution. WorldPop provides estimates of numbers of people residing in each 100x100m grid cell for every low and middle income country. Through ingegrating cencus, survey, satellite and GIS datasets in a flexible machine-learning framework, high resolution maps of population counts and densities for 2000-2020 are produced, along with accompanying metadata.

DATASET: Alpha version 2010 and 2015 estimates of numbers of people per grid square, with national totals adjusted to match UN population division estimates (http://esa.un.org/wpp/) and remaining unadjusted.

REGION: Africa

SPATIAL RESOLUTION: 0.000833333 decimal degrees (approx 100m at the equator)

PROJECTION: Geographic, WGS84

UNITS: Estimated persons per grid square

MAPPING APPROACH: Land cover based, as described in: Linard, C., Gilbert, M., Snow, R.W., Noor, A.M. and Tatem, A.J., 2012, Population distribution, settlement patterns and accessibility across Africa in 2010, PLoS ONE, 7(2): e31743.

FILENAMES: Example - AGO10adjv4.tif = Angola (AGO) population count map for 2010 (10) adjusted to match UN national estimates (adj), version 4 (v4). Population maps are updated to new versions when improved census or other input data become available.

Population density (people per sq. km of land area) in Thailand was reported at 140 sq. Km in 2022, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. Thailand - Population density (people per sq. km) - actual values, historical data, forecasts and projections were sourced from the World Bank on July of 2025.

As of March 2024, the population of those who were no older than 15 years old in Thailand amounted to approximately ***** million, which was the highest compared to other age groups. The next largest age group was between the ages of 46 and 55, with a total of around ***** million people.  Population development in Thailand Thailand is the fourth most populated country among all ASEAN (Association of South-East Asian Nations) member countries. The recent total population in the country stood at around ** million. While the total population number is expected to increase, the number of children in Thailand has decreased over the years. Thailand’s aging society   Thailand is one of the fastest-aging countries in the world. As of January 2023, the proportion of senior citizens in Thailand stood at ** percent. The elderly population in the country is predicted to continue growing steadily in the future. Therefore, ASEAN established the ASEAN Centre for Active Aging and Innovation (ACAI) in 2018 under the leadership of Thailand. ACAI aims to promote healthy aging and enhance the lifelong quality of aging in Thailand and other ASEAN countries.

Thailand: Population ages 65 and above, percent of total: The latest value from 2023 is 14.72 percent, an increase from 14.1 percent in 2022. In comparison, the world average is 10.17 percent, based on data from 196 countries. Historically, the average for Thailand from 1960 to 2023 is 5.82 percent. The minimum value, 2.81 percent, was reached in 1961 while the maximum of 14.72 percent was recorded in 2023.

WorldPop produces different types of gridded population count datasets, depending on the methods used and end application. An overview of the data can be found in Tatem et al, and a description of the modelling methods used found in Stevens et al. The 'Global per country 2000-2020' datasets represent the outputs from a project focused on construction of consistent 100m resolution population count datasets for all countries of the World for each year 2000-2020. These efforts necessarily involved some shortcuts for consistency. The 'individual countries' datasets represent older efforts to map populations for each country separately, using a set of tailored geospatial inputs and differing methods and time periods. The 'whole continent' datasets are mosaics of the individual countries datasets
