Our location dataset for Thailand

Thailand ZIP Codes

Thailand uses a “Postal code” system, which is a five-digit numeric format, like 99999, with no letters or separators. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, Thailand has 971 postal codes covering 1,012 regions and 7,436 towns. This format is the same as US ZIP codes, which are also five digits and purely numeric.

Thailand ZIP & Administrative boundaries

Thailand administrative landscape often follows inconsistent regional models and irregular public sources, making it difficult to maintain reliable boundaries. Our standardized postal and administrative boundary data resolves these gaps to ensure complete, coherent geographic coverage.
