PM happy as Thais read more

[Bob12345]

I know western countries have "classic literature", also Arabic and Indian literature have classics, has anyone any knowledge of similar literature in Thai ? Genuine question people as if so maybe I should buy some for my young Thai relations, but yes, they all use facebook or similar !!!

I am afraid you will either end up with a book written by a member of the royal family or a book describing the heroic features of an ancient member of the royal family.

Maybe I am out of touch but reading Facebook, Line or Hi5 is not exactly hat I would call reading

Hi5?

Yep...you are clearly out of touch!

But on a more serious note: I don't believe this statistic for a second!

But but but, can they read the TRUTH?

Not without a VPN...

Have you ever seen a Thai person reading a book on MRT?

Thais are not readers....

One exception: little brother (now 18 years old) reads Thai comics when he is on the toilet, but I have never "seen" him doing that as he keeps the doors closed.

Are you sure that's a comic book? Maybe it's just the cover...

Any of them reading the charter draft, or is that not available. Reading without critical thinking skills, questioning "Is this bs or what?" is of little value imo.

Yep...
