Ocak 2015 itibarıyla Tayland’da 32 şehir belediyesi bulunmaktadır. Başkent Bangkok ve özel yönetimli şehir Pattaya bu bölümlendirmelerin dışında kalmaktadır. Bu şehirler kendi kendini yöneten bölgeler olarak görülmektedir. Tayland’ın kentleşme oranı %52’dir (2021), bu da toplam nüfusta 36.217.020 kişiye karşılık gelmektedir.
Tayland’da çeşitli kurumlar nüfus rakamlarını yayınlıyor, bu yüzden yazıyı oluşturmam biraz zor oldu. Yerel bilgiler, Yerel Yönetim Departmanı (DLA) tarafından alınmıştır. Bangkok ve Chiang Mai, birden fazla bölgeyi kapsayan şehirlerdir.
