FX.co ★ Thailand’s CPI Swings Back to Inflation in April With 2.89% YoY Jump

Thailand’s consumer prices surged in April 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 2.89% year-over-year, marking a sharp turnaround from the mild deflation recorded a month earlier. In March 2026, CPI stood at -0.08% year-over-year, highlighting how quickly price dynamics have shifted in the Thai economy.

The figures, updated on 6 May 2026, show that on a year-over-year basis, April’s reading compares price levels to those of April a year earlier, while March’s data similarly compared prices to the same month the previous year. The move from slightly negative annual inflation in March to a solid positive rate in April suggests a notable change in pricing pressures that investors and policymakers will be watching closely for signs of persistent inflation or volatility in consumer costs.
