webfact Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thais spend 160 minutes per day on their smartphones BY JONATHAN FAIRFIELDBANGKOK: -- On average, Thai people spend 160 minutes per day on their smartphones, according to data released by mobile analytics company VServ.The study, which analyzed feedback from 565 respondents, found that smartphone users in Thailand trail only behind Malaysia when it comes to time spent on their smartphones.Smartphone users in Malaysia spend an average of 187 minutes per day using their phones, whereas users in the Phillipines trial behind Thailand with around 140 minutes per day spent on their phones. In Indonesia average daily smartphone usage is 129 minutes.The study also looked at the different behaviours of smartphone users in Thailand and found that data consumption among smartphone users is almost 60 percent higher than in other countries in the region.This is in part due to Thai smartphone users spending more time streaming video content and music (13 minutes per day) to their devices than users in neighbouring countries.Full story: http://tech.thaivisa.com/thais-spend-160-minutes-per-day-on-their-smartphones/13572/ -- Tech News by Thaivisa 2016-01-22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaalle Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 And for those of us who spend the hours in front of the computer instead, are we any better? At least the phone people are out and about, sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prbkk Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Does that include the time they are at work? Go to any information desk at the airport and observe how the staff reluctantly put down their phones to deal with pesky passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emster23 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 As soon as I saw headline, I wondered how they came up with this number. "Thais" implies this number is average for ALL Thais... This figure only applies to smart phone (stupid people) users. Who knows how many there are? Too many, imho. If given magic wish to eliminate one invention of last decades, Smart phones would be #1. Leading to generations of social cripples, mental midgets, narcissistic brain damaged clueless population. And those are just the benefits!

bazza40 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Think the average of 160 minutes is low. I do wonder what on earth the Thais did before they had smartphones or even mobile phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought 160 was extremely low. But Im an American and I spend maybe 6 hours a day on my phone (since they include streaming music). Thailand needs to work on their free wifi. Vietnam is whopping Thailand in free wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2fishin2 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I think people that dont spend time on their phones (mobile devices included) to be "dumber" than everybody else. Americans are smart enough to spend more time on their phones than Thais..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puukao Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 i would say most ex-pats are on the computer at least a few hours a day, if not a lot more. movies, videos, skype, email, whatever... if it hinders you from accomplishing things....then yes it's a problem if you have no goals....look here first. if unhappy....do less computer stuff but it's from 9 to midnight.....who really cares.... so it's case-by-case in general it is bad if you aren't making money or learning, etc...

FredNL Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We all know that most of what the Thai say are lies... So those 160 minutes on average ??? In Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and in Malaysia they have a saying: Don't Thai to me. I know another company here in Thailand that fired one of their staff and appeared in court showed evidence that the women that got fired was over 400 minutes per day playing the internet on her (notso)smartphone. Working effectively for 1 hour and almost 20 minutes. This has been in the news in 2014 !!! Nothing has changed since then. I see the hours spend completely different. WOMEN at their job, during office hours, they're on their phone 90% of the time. Recorded by our CCTV. 9 hours - 1 hour lunch break => 8 hours. 8 hours x 60 minutes => 480 minutes. 90% of 480 minutes => 432 minutes. Then 1 hour traveling from and back to work. Even when they walk they play their phones => 60 minutes. At home, when they're not asleep -> 5 hours x 60 min => 300 min. During lunch and dinner -> 2 hours x 60 min => 120 So 432 + 60 + 300 + 120 => 912 minutes per day !!! Probably the one when writing this article had the numbers upside down ???
