This article is a List of equipment in Royal Thai Navy (RTN). The majority of the vessels of the Royal Thai Navy are from the United States (nearly half, over 50 of RTN's 130+ vessels). RTN also has craft from Australia, Canada, China, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Thailand produces many of its own vessels, in particular those of smaller displacement.

Examples of Thai docks Mahidol Adulyadej Naval Dockyard, Asian Marine Services, Marsun Shipbuilding, Italthai Marine, and Bangkok Dock. Thai docks have built corvettes, offshore patrol vessels (OPV), and patrol boats. In the future Thai docks plan to build frigates as well.
