My Thai friend, Jamorn, gave a little more light into social networking scene in Thailand.
He said the Thai people use social networks like Hi5 and Friendster instead of Facebook unless they are internationally educated (like him!).
He gave a “guesstimate” that less than 5% of the Thai corporations are following the web 2.0 standard at the moment and blogging has not caught on.
As for information search, Jamorn mentioned that the main sites that Thai people use are probably Yahoo! Thailand and Sanook.com. Wikipedia may not be as popular because the contents in Thai is extremely limited.
Thanks Jamorn!
