Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Tier 2: a major Thai English-language outlet reporting figures it states were "released by the Bank of Thailand and the National Office of Buddhism (NOB)" directly, the exact wording read from the live article's own text; the underlying disclosure is the two named government bodies' own joint data, the outlet the relay of it.
