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.
