Overview
Thailand's remittances received stood at $10.2B in 2025, a rise of +$727.2M from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $10.2B by 2025. Thailand ranked 25th globally.
Thailand’s inflow of remittances has risen dramatically from a modest US$18,450,120.93 in 1975 to an all‑time high of US$10,183,365,593.82 in 2025, placing the country 25th globally and slightly below Romania’s US$10,397,999,463.33 and Honduras’s US$10,851,556,870.85. Over the 51‑year coverage period the growth trajectory reflects expanding overseas labor migration, higher wages in destination economies and improved transfer mechanisms. The surge coincides with regional trends in Southeast Asia where remittance receipts have become a key source of foreign exchange, yet Thailand’s per‑capita receipt remains lower than that of the United States, which recorded US$9,262,100,000.00 despite its larger economy, underscoring the relative importance of migrant workers to Thailand’s balance of payments. Continued diversification of destination markets and policy measures that lower transfer costs could sustain the upward momentum, while any slowdown in global labor demand would likely temper future growth.
