1 SES Table 19 reports the percentage of each socio-economic class who own dwelling and land.
This excludes households who own a house on rented land or rent house and land or occupy a
home rent free. The estimate of landless farm households and agricultural workers includes
an additional 2 million households occupying ALRO and other state land.

The first two columns in the lower part of the table displays LFS data for
the adult population classified by industry and work status grouped to match the
breakdown of classes in the Socio-Economic Survey. This breakdown is allocated
16
to household groups listed at the top using assumptions in the remaining columns

16 Published tables from the SES do not provide the number of persons or households in each
socio-economic class. The SES does provide estimates of the value of homes and land owned by
each socio-economic group but the total (28 trillion Baht) seems low considering that the value
of buildings is likely to exceed 8 trillion leaving only 20 trillion Baht for land.
