Consumer prices in Thailand rose 2.42% year-on-year in June 2026, slowing from 2.79% in May but marking the third consecutive month of inflation after emerging from a year-long deflationary streak.
Still, the reading remained within the central bank's 1%-3% target range.
The ministry reaffirmed its full-year inflation forecast of 1.5%-2.5%, as Deputy Trade Policy and Strategy Office head Natiya Suchinda said headline CPI is expected to continue edging higher.
Meanwhile, core inflation, which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, accelerated to 1.23% annually from 0.92% in May, marking the fastest increase since June 2023.
