Thailand
THA · 2024 energy mix · renewables 5.8% · fossil fuels 92.6%
Threat reading 21 of 100, classified STABLE. 0 events recorded here in the last seven days, 0 in the last thirty.
That number is computed from live feeds and moves. The live monitor is where to read it as of right now.
Where its energy comes from
| Oil | 46.5% |
|---|---|
| Gas | 34.0% |
| Coal | 12.0% |
| Other renewables | 3.2% |
| Hydro | 1.1% |
| Solar | 0.9% |
| Wind | 0.6% |
In 2024, renewables accounted for 5.8% and fossil fuels for 92.6%. On electricity traded with its neighbours, Thailand is a net importer of electricity.
Sources under one per cent of the mix are left out of the table rather than listed as a row of zeroes. Percentages are shares of a country's primary energy, not of the power it generates.
Recorded history
NOAA's hazard records hold 4 significant earthquakes in or just off Thailand since 460.
The deadliest was the 5 May 2014 magnitude 6.1 earthquake (Thailand: Chiang Rai), which killed one person.
| Date | What | Where | Toll |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 May 2014 | magnitude 6.1 earthquake | Thailand: Chiang Rai | 1 dead, 20 homes destroyed, $62 million damage |
| 22 April 1983 | magnitude 5.9 earthquake | Thailand: Bangkok | damage $1 to 5 million |
| 12 December 2006 | magnitude 4.6 earthquake | Thailand: Mae Rim | 5 homes destroyed, damage under $1 million |
| 22 July 460 | earthquake | Thailand: Yonok-nagabandhu | damage $5 to 25 million |
A dash means NOAA recorded no number, not that nobody died. Older entries are fewer because fewer were written down, not because less happened.

In the last 30 days
Our feeds placed no events in Thailand in the last 30 days. That is a statement about the feeds we read, not proof that nothing happened.
What the threat reading is made of
| Conflict | 5 |
|---|---|
| Unrest | 0 |
| Security | 15 |
| Spillover from neighbours | 28 |
| Natural hazard | 0 |
| Resilience | 77 |
Each is 0 to 100. Resilience runs the other way to the rest: a high number is a country better able to absorb a shock, not a country in more trouble.
