Thailand Population

Thailand in a global context

With about 71,801,279 people, Thailand is home to roughly 0.89% of the world's population and ranks #18 among the countries on this list. Its population density of 140/km² is about 2.3 times the world average of 62 people per km², across a total area of 513,120 km².

Growth trend

At an annual growth rate of 0.15%, Thailand adds roughly 107,702 people per year. If that rate held steady, the population would reach about 72,885,597 in ten years and double in roughly 467 years. Real growth rarely stays constant, so treat these figures as a simple projection rather than a forecast.
