darksidedog Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I am sometimes a little surprised that Thais can get off the internet or LINE, long enough to actually do anything else. You would get served twice as fast in many places if the staff weren't paying more attention to their devices than their customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krataiboy Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hard to credit. Let's assume the average Thai works or goes to school eight hours a day and sleeps roughly for as long. How on earth do they cram more than nine and a half hours surfing into the remaining eight hours, and still fit in mundane stuff like doing household chores,shopping, watching TV, eating, etc etc? The devil, as with all these headline-making survey, is in the details this one doesn't go into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 And the women are fattest in SEA. The change happened in a few years, after they got smartphones and facebook. No end in sight, they'll end up morbidly obese due to lack of exercise, being glued to the phone. The nation is doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siamcrut Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Yes, that’s because they can use their smartphone during driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are usually online whilst eating, drinking, socialising with friends, cooking, on eh toilet, in bed, having sex, watching TV, driving cars, at work....... easy to fit the time in.

Plus suddenly jumping up in uni class during the lecture and taking 3 or 6 selfies. And can't understand when the professor scolds them and can't understand why the other students are telling them to sit down and to be polite. Just have to keep the selfie rate up, life and death. Plus, ask the offender 'what are we talking about', and there's no reply, there never will be a reply, and their grade average is at about C or D+.

anono222 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The math is both easy and revealing on this one. Since there aren't enough hours in the day, than using the Internet doing one of the other options becomes obvious. If I were a betting man, I would choose using the Internet while working is much more of a possibility given the importance put on sleep around here. Just saying...

Eligius Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Thailand spends the longest hours in the world online - and yet the Thais seem to know the least of all peoples on the planet about the world! In my experience, there is precious little intellectual curiosity here about the world - or even about Thailand itself! Of course, the ruling 'elites' love this situation and foster national and international ignorance to the best of their ability!
