Inflation analysis
Inflation in Thailand
This page covers 64 years of Thailand consumer price data, from 1963 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 1974, when consumer prices in Thailand rose 24.3%. At that rate, money loses roughly a third of its value in a year.
Prices fell in 6 of those 63 years, including in recent decades — about 10% of the time — most sharply in 2015, when they dropped 0.9%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 1970s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 8.0% a year, while the 2020s were the calmest at 1.3%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 1.1% a year, markedly calmer than the 4.0% average across the whole record.
