Thailand’s core Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.83% year-over-year in April 2026, quickening from a 0.57% increase in March 2026. The latest data, updated on 06 May 2026, indicates a firming in underlying price pressures compared with the same period a year earlier.
The figures are calculated on a year-over-year basis, with April’s reading reflecting the change in core prices relative to April of the previous year, while March’s figure measures the change versus March a year earlier. The acceleration suggests that, excluding volatile components, underlying inflation in Thailand has gained some momentum between March and April. Policymakers and market participants are likely to watch subsequent releases closely for signs of whether this upward trend in core inflation continues.
