Islam in Thailand

Islam has a historical presence in Thailand, where Thai Muslims are the largest religious minority in the country. Figures vary according to different sources. Some reports mention a figure as high as 5.4% of Thailand's population. Back in 2022, USA government sources suggested a 5.4% figure. A 2023 Pew Research Center survey suggested a 7% figure. According to a Thailand government source, as of 2024 there are approximately 7.5 million Thai Muslims in the kingdom, or approximately about 12% of the overall population.

Most Thai Muslims are Sunni Muslims, although Thailand has a diverse population with diverse background.
