From a short story:

เย็นนี้ฉันจะคุยบีบีเล่นเฟซบุ๊กให้หนำใจไปเลย

Here is another:

นจะทำอะไรก่อนดีนะ เล่นเฟซบุ๊ก ออนบีบีแต่มันก็ทำได้พร้อมกันอยู่แล้วนี่

Does บีบี most likely mean "Bulletin Board" or "Blackberry" or something else? "ออน" in this context means "on-line", I suspect. Is this correct?

Thank you.

David,

the fact you are posting in Thai means to me you can read and understand normal written Thai.

I suspect like me however you have a problem understanding, teenage slang, abbreviations used on texting, abbreviations used on the bottom of the screen when watching the news, etc etc.

'คุยบีบีเล่นเฟซบุ๊ก' Whilst I have no problem reading and understanding this, I have the same problem as you.

I am of an age where I dont have a FB account or a BB, so as to what, บีบี, means in this context I have no idea, I can only use logic and assume it means a Blackberry.

เล่นเฟซบุ๊ก ออนบีบี. would imply to me using a BB online to read her FB page (I dont even know if page is the correct term).

Sorry I cant really help or answer your question.

Is the use of, บีบี, instead of มือถือ a fashion statement or a face thing? I honeslty dont know.

ออน" in this context means "on-line", I concur.

BB means Blackberry, there's a messaging network called BBM (blackberry messaging) which can be linked to a users facebook page and used to update status messages and chat

So "คุยบีบีเล่นเฟซบุ๊ก" (kui BB len facebook) would mean that the person is chatting on facebook using the BBM service

Thank you, Biff; that is very helpful.

Can I render these sentences:

"เย็นนี้ฉันจะคุยบีบีเล่นเฟซบุ๊กให้หนำใจไปเลย" as

"This evening I will chat on my Blackberry and Facebookuntil I am blue in the face." ?

"ฉันจะทำอะไรก่อนดีนะเล่นเฟซบุ๊ก ออนบีบี แต่มันก็ทำได้พร้อมกันอยู่แล้วนี่"

What should I do first? [should I] do Facebook or get on-line with my Blackberryaccount? But, [what am I thinking?] I can do both at the same time!

Pretty much yeah.

Although it might be more naturally said in English as; "what should I do first? Facebook or BBM?...what am I thinking? I can do both at the same time!"

BB = dedicated chat network using Blackberry devices, it can now be used with other devices, such as iPhone by installing the "WhatsApp" - Application.

Talk on BB - Play on FB.
