Thais are pretty serious users of the internet's crowd-sourced
encyclopaedia, looking up most often Asean, the sufficiency economy -
and Thailand.
A Swedish software engineer has compiled the top searches of users of
Wikipedia, and it turns out that Thais are heavy users of the source.
The Thai-language version of Wikipedia got millions of searches in
2012. The most-searched for term was the Association of Southeast
Asian Nations (Asean), or สมาคมประชาชาติแห่งเอเชียตะวันออกเฉียงใต้ in
Thai. Nearly 1.2 million people asked Wikipedia for information on
Asean during the past year.
