Sampling
A Stratified Two–stage Sampling was adopted for the survey. Bangkok Metropolitan and other Provinces were considered to be constituted strata. There were altogether 77 strata, each stratum (except Bangkok Metropolitan) was divided into two parts according to the type of local administration area corresponding to the Department of Provincial Administration, namely, municipal areas, and nonmunicipal areas.

Selection of Primary Sampling Units
The sample selection of enumeration area was performed separately and independently in each part by using probability proportional to the total number of households in that enumeration area. -
Selection of Secondary Sampling Units
In this stage, private households were the ultimate sampling units. Households in every enumerating area sample were listed to serve as the sampling frame then the set of households was rearranged by size of household (classified by number of household members) and type of economic household (determined on the basis of the occupational type which produces the highest income in the household). Finally, private sampled households were selected by using the systematic method in each type of local administration with the following sample sizes :
(1) 15 households from each of enumerating area sample in municipal areas
(2) 10 households from each of enumerating area sample in non–municipal areas
The total number of private sampled households for the whole year was 52,000 households.

The sample of about 52,000 households, in both municipal and non-municipal areas, was divided into twelve equally representative sub–samples. Each sub–household group was interviewed for the period of one–month. The survey data was collected by an interviewing method. The interviewers were sent out to interview the household head or other household members of the sample households. The period of data collection started from January to December 2015.
Data processing
