Quotes


"I did initially start blogging so my friends and family knew what I was doing in Thailand and so I had an outlet for English as there are no foreigners anywhere near me. Now it has become a good place to meet people who contact me through it and I've also made some good friends through the blog." - Mel, author of blog The Village Life


"Blogging is gaining popularity, but nowhere near the popularity it holds in say Japan. Micro-blogging services like twitter, pownce, jaiku definitely have not made much of an impact here." - Dave Oliver, author of blog Dave in Bangkok, Thailand


"The Thais' accessibility to the Internet is quite limited - Only those who go to universities and those who can afford the Internet at home, have the ability go online frequently. So unless students have access, there won't be many people who will blog and visit social media websites except for those within their same community."- Jamiel Said, Singapore Management University student who went on exchange to Chulalongkorn University, Thailand


"Thais love taking snapshots and pictures and that’s why these social networking sites have a lot of members. Facebook is growing in popularity in Thailand."- Saneh Madan, student from the Chulalongkorn U
