Food, beer and hookers: Here are the most Googled things in Thailand
BY JONATHAN FAIRFIELD



BANGKOK: -- Cost estimation site Fixr recently released an infographic detailing the most popular Google searches related to cost for each country around the world.

The study is based on results returned in Google’s autocomplete function, which Google says provides suggestions based on the most popular searches by other users in any given country.

Fixr searched for “How much does * cost in ( X country)” in order to find out the most Googled for items according to Google Autocomplete.

Now whilst Google Autocomplete results can also be determined by a user’s own search history, the data compiled by Fixr should probably not be considered all that scientific.

With that being said, Fixr’s cost obsession data is still pretty interesting and informative, if not all that surprising, especially when looking at the search results for the most Googled things in Thailand.

Nice One.

Not if you read the whole article.

Personally I found the info about some places googling the cost of a slave or a kidney a lot more disturbing.

Whereas the words beer and prostitute covering most of South America was just bizarre.

Hooker... I have lived a sheltered life and had to look it up...

Hooker is one of the positions in rugby league. Usually wearing jersey number 9, the hooker is one of the team's forwards. During scrums the hooker plays in the front row, and the position's name comes from their role of 'hooking' or 'raking' the ball back with the foot.

Cllllllllllllickkkkkkk Bate

Without this , we knew education would not be the highest rate in search on google........

Thanks for the "Heads up". Where would we be without Google?

I can't believe temples are not in the top three,. They must have it wrong.
