On average 80,000 new units per year in an area of 8 million people. That's 1-4% growth (given not all units are single occupancy). Seems reasonable. If not low. Given current circumstances. 

I would like to see any accurate figures on how many condos, apartments & townhouses empty in Thailand

You probably mean unsold.  My condo project is probably 80% empty most of the time--but all the condos are sold.  Many are owned by rich Bangkokians who only come a few times a year.

I don’t though there were tens of millions thousands of empty units already?

How many of those condos claims to be "high class" and only try to lure the 1% of thailand ? (0.1%?)

Some the new projects I checked on Thonglor advertised prices starting north of 250k/sqm. I can conceive that a non insignificant amount of people can pay for that, it's in no way a smart decision to fork out 10M bahts for a studio in Bangkok.
