webfact Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Almost four out of five people in Thailand are planning to buy Valentine’s Day gifts online, a recent survey by YouGov for payments company Visa reveals. The study aimed to assess Thai consumers’ spending habits in the run-up to the romantic holiday, along with the factors influencing their decisions, and the most effective ways to win their partners’ hearts. The survey presented an interesting challenge: understanding what your partner truly wants. The majority (59%) of participants admitted to telling their partners directly what they desire. Interestingly, 27% of respondents utilise artificial intelligence to express their wishes, often through their partner’s smartphone. Another 22% prefer a subtler approach, dropping hints in the hope their partners will take the hint, reported Bangkok Post. A significant 57% of the respondents plan to purchase their Valentine’s Day gifts from online retailers and e-commerce platforms. Meanwhile, 20% are opting for social commerce shops on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and Line. by Alex Morgan Photo courtesy of Varuth Hirunyatheb Full story: The Thaiger 2024-02-14 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Korat Kiwi Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I see the local gold shops are doing a roaring trade with a few falangs being dragged along to show their love in baht weight. I suppose refrigerators and saucepans arent the go anymore.... Well at least they were a bit more practical! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
