Explanation

ข้อมูล is a neutral and very common noun. It can refer to information on a form, data in a computer, or material used in research or reports. It is not limited to digital data; names, addresses, explanations, survey results, and stored records can all be ข้อมูล. The parts ข้อ and มูล suggest something like “items that form a basis,” but in everyday use it simply functions as a general word for information or data.

Usage

It is often used in registration forms, applications, inquiries, business or school documents, news, government procedures, IT, research, and data analysis. Common combinations include กรอกข้อมูล “enter information,” เก็บข้อมูล “collect data,” and วิเคราะห์ข้อมูล “analyze data.”

Caution

Do not limit ข้อมูล to numbers or computer files. It can include names, addresses, written details, and research results. If you mean the physical or formal document itself, เอกสาร is usually the better word.
