The line graph illustrates population trends in Thailand from 1960 to 2020. Overall, the urban population increased significantly, while the rural population showed a downward trend. In 1960, most Thai people, approximately 80%, lived in rural areas. However, from 1960 to 1980, the rural population decreased gradually, making up around 70% of the total population. From 2000 onwards, this decline accelerated, and by 2020, the rural population had decreased to less than 40%. By contrast, the urban population rose throughout the same period. In 1960, about 20% of the population lived in urban areas. In 1980, this number had doubled to around 40%. From 2000 onwards, the urban population continued to increase, and by 2020, it had surpassed 60% of the total population. This trend reflects the rapid urbanization and growth of cities in Thailand over the past six decades.
