Abstract: The main objective of this work is to provide a detailed measurement and analysis of poverty in Thailand. In this study we develop new poverty lines that take into account the differing needs of household members and regional price differences. We use the new poverty thresholds to construct poverty profiles for Thailand. The study makes use of the five latest socioeconomic surveys conducted in Thailand during the years 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994 and 1996.
