In 1925, the crude birth rate in Thailand was 44 births per thousand people, meaning that just over four percent of the population would be born in that year. Thailand’s crude birth rate would mirror the country’s fertility rate closely, with little change until the 1970s, when the crude birth rate would fall sharply; this has been attributed to the country’s rapid liberalization after mass uprisings in the 1970s and improvements to Thailand's healthcare system. The crude birth rate would then proceed to fall steadily for the remainder of the 20th century and into the 21st century. As a result, in 2020, it is estimated that Thailand's has a crude birth rate of just 10.5 births per thousand people.

Infant mortality rate is the number of infants dying before reaching one year of age, per 1,000 live births in a given year.; ; Estimates developed by the UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UNICEF, WHO, World Bank, UN DESA Population Division) at www.childmortality.org.; Weighted average; Given that data on the incidence and prevalence of diseases are frequently unavailable, mortality rates are often used to identify vulnerable populations. Moreover, they are among the indicators most frequently used to compare socioeconomic development across countries. Under-five mortality rates are higher for boys than for girls in countries in which parental gender preferences are insignificant. Under-five mortality captures the effect of gender discrimination better than infant mortality does, as malnutrition and medical interventions have more significant impacts to this age group. Where female under-five mortality is higher, girls are likely to have less access to resources than boys.

In 1925, the total fertility rate in the present-day region of Thailand was just over six children per woman, meaning that the average woman born in Thailand at this time could expect to have just over six children over the course of her reproductive years. Fertility would remain largely stable at this level until the 1970s, when Thailand would begin to modernize following the transition to democracy, in the wake of the 1973 student uprising. This period of democratization saw improvements in healthcare and family planning services, which contributed to a drastic reduction in Thailand's fertility rate, which more than halved between 1970 and 1985, and fell below replacement level (roughly 2.1 children per woman) in the early 1990s. In 2020, the average woman born in Thailand can expect to have just over 1.5 children over the course of her reproductive years.
