It's a platform that collects data that goes to China! Many governments have banned it from public servants phones!

Sadly, some people never grow up.

 

Soi Buakhao is full of these middle aged, elderly juvenile delinquents.

 

I was in Soi Buakhao a few weeks ago and watched some disabled people on a motorised wheelchair with a girl on their lap roaming the streets up and down.
They were going pretty fast on their modified wheelchair.

It's not begging for money.  It is giving people free content and asking them if they enjoyed it, or got some value from it, to consider leaving a small tip/donation.   

If you don't want to pay then don't.  

Creating content is a lot of work, even the rubbish stuff!

Different words but same end result.  Begging.

 

It's not a lot of work to film yourself doing nothing unusual for TikTok.

I saw some people shaking a bucket with some vague photo of a kid smiling near a banana tree.  They wanted money for the kids.  I asked if I could adopt one.  He looked at me terrified and then did the no English can't understand your Thai routine.  I finally solved their problem and they were speechless.

I use my phone... as a phone, bizzarre concept aye.

 

Any thing internet (like posting here on Thaivisa.com) is performed on either my PC or Laptop.

i don't know, but it seems that the governments are not happy with all this social media thing and are trying to put a halt to it.

Tik Tik is banned in many countries now; Twitter was taken over by musk! The taxman is inquiring into these sudden millionaires, etc.

My guess is that a lot of them will end very poor as happened to a lady in my country who got a letter from the taxman to pay over 100.000 Eur in not declared revenues

Perhaps somewhat of an antiquated concept… but each to their own.

 

… phones are no longer phones but mobile computers, wallets, payment methods, cameras, navigation tools etc…

 

.. but more importantly..   smart phones are the method of cheap international communication many of yearned for in the early Nokia / Erickson days….
