Where does the figure of 51 million come from? I ask because Thailand has well over 60 million people. Of course, maybe we are excluding people in Thailand that are not Thai. But still, I am curious about the source. Anagnorisis 04:58, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

It's from the CIA factbook, and it's the figure for ethnic Thais. It actually includes the Lao as well, so it should be much lower. For the population of Thailand see Thailand. Mark^{your words} 11:51, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

The joshua project says that about 30 million THAI.

There are 20 million ethnic lao people in Thailand, so the population should be much smaller. Anyone care to change? CanCanDuo 16:27, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
