Neeranam Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I d been using this forum to find information for many years but recently realize that the numbers just aren't here any more. Reddit seems to have taken over as well as Facebook groups. What other places are there to find fast information about things in Thailand? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KannikaP Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) There is a search site called GOOGLE which usually gives information, and another called BING. (Where is that sarcastic emoji? ) Edited July 28, 2022 by KannikaP 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KhunLA Posted July 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2022 Gmaps & Gsearch is all I ever need ... then go where they point me. Forums (AN & TA...etc) are fairly useless for info, as few expats actually belong to or respond to info queries. As can't be bothered, and quite understandable. The rest of the 'members' don't seem to have a clue, don't live here/there, where ever, or might have visited, or worse, never visited. Or that one time 15 yrs ago. I find most queries could have been answered better & quicker, if question simply put in google instead of waiting for dated or wrong info on a forum. How people find an international forum to ask a question, but can't seem to find google is mind boggling. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my answer in the Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Golden Triangle areas. Of course, if you are after "beer bar" gossip then Google no good.

Due to governmental and police influence/control, Thai people seem to be increasingly using Tik Tok as an uncensored and unbiased source of information, and a fast and reliable way of sharing it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not suggesting they limiting content - the issue seems to be that they have full access to everything on any device so everything is at risk and your comment on Taiwan could be the trigger to actually read what they may have already downloaded from your computers/phones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, Google is perfect if you're happy when asking about "monkeypox in Phuket" to get in reply a list of hotels and flights there as well as the current weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
