TikTok becomes Thailand’s choice for online shopping

[snoop1130]

 

TikTok, the online video-sharing platform, has become the most popular online shopping platform among Thais aged up to 29, according to a survey conducted by the Trade Policy and Strategy Office (TPSO).

 

The survey was conducted among 4,699 respondents throughout the country.

 

The platform has gained popularity as an online commerce platform among youth, as it emphasises happiness and entertainment, so-called “Shoppertainment”, through live streams and short videos created by users and influencers.

Thailand. The hub of CCP online shopping tracking. 

I can't believe this is actually spun as a positive thing.

I'm afraid that just like most others the Thai's will fall hook line and sinker for CBDC's too.

It is the result of a survey of under 5000 persons, it may even have been limited to those under 29. Drivel very likely...... I doubt Lazada has been bettered in Thailand quite yet.

so not shopee or lazada? hard to believe... but TIT

They actually have a lot of stuff Shopee and Lazada don't have. I've actually ordered fresh grapes and marian plums and they deliver the next day, well packed and fresh. Prices are good too.
