Fact File: What's the population of Bangkok? Last updated October 26, 2004 License for this page: You are free to copy, distribute, display... We get this question about twice a month, so here is the explanation: Q: I read Bangkok has about 7.5 million inhabitants, in other publications they talking about 10 million. Can you inform me about the correct number of the inhabitants of greater Bangkok? A: This is a perennial question. Normally it depends on whether those compiling the statistics reply on some kind of boundary for the population (like city or provincial limits) or if they look at the 'megalopolis' concept--by continuing to count as far out as the city appears to extend--even to the next province. The megalopolis concept will yield a number like 10 million.
