Detailed Country Guide
Overview and identity
Thailand, officially listed here as Kingdom of Thailand, is structured as a practical country reference guide for users searching country facts, maps, flags, codes, and daily-use data. The page should make Thailand, TH, THA, the flag, the official name, and the country slug easy to confirm because users often land on country pages while checking identifiers for forms, travel, education, or data products. Thailand is grouped under Asia, more specifically South-Eastern Asia, with Asia shown as the continent context.
Geography and population scale
The country dataset records a population of 65,975,198 people and a land area of 513,120 square kilometers, which gives an approximate density of 129 people per square kilometer. The main coordinate reference is 15, 100, while the capital coordinate reference is 13.75, 100.52. Thailand shares listed land borders with MMR, KHM, LAO, MYS, and the landlocked value is recorded as no. These details help the page answer common searches around location, area, borders, map position, and population comparison.
Capital and urban network
The capital information is recorded as Bangkok (primary). The largest city entries shown for this country are Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Nakhon Ratchasima, Khon Kaen and Hat Yai. Including cities alongside country-level facts helps the guide answer searches such as largest cities in Thailand, capital of Thailand, and major urban areas in Thailand. This is useful because many users compare the official capital with the largest business, transport, or population centers.
Government, classification, and memberships
The government type is listed as Unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy. The classification fields mark sovereignty as yes, United Nations membership as yes, observer status as no, and disputed status as no. International memberships shown for this page include ASEAN and United Nations. These fields support search intent around political status, country classification, and international organization membership.
Administrative formats and daily-use data
Thailand uses calling code +66, postal format #####, and time zone data listed as UTC+07:00. The number format uses , as the thousands separator and . as the decimal separator. The week starts on monday; the academic year starts around May 16; the government fiscal year starts around Oct 1; and the personal fiscal year starts around Jan 1.
Currency, language, transport, and references
Currency data lists THB - Thai baht (฿), while language records include Thai. Vehicle data records the driving side as left and vehicle sign codes as T. Reference links should keep official, Wikipedia, Google Maps, and OpenStreetMap sources together when available so users can move from the structured country guide to map or source pages quickly. The latest Gini entry in the dataset is 33.3 for 2024.
How to use this profile
This Thailand profile is designed to be scanned in layers: first the name, official name, flag, capital, population, area, and density; then identity, geography, cities, governance, memberships, formats, connectivity, currency, languages, transport, and references. That structure supports both human readers and product workflows where users need to verify a phone code, compare cities, inspect fiscal dates, check postal formats, review memberships, or open a map reference without searching across multiple pages.
