Flag of Thailand
The flag of Thailand is composed of five horizontal bands of red, white, blue, white and red, with the central blue band twice the height of the other four bands.
Where it is
Thailand is grouped in South-Eastern Asia, within Roam’s Asia region. Its land-border list includes 4 countries in this atlas: Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Thailand has a recorded area of 513,120 square kilometres. Among the 11 countries assigned to South-Eastern Asia in this dataset, it ranks 3 by area, from largest to smallest. Myanmar is immediately above it in that ordering, at 676,578 km². Philippines is immediately below it, at 342,353 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 71,619,863 people for Thailand in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 140 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Thai. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Thai Baht (THB). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
