It’s official, people in Thailand Searched for Look Thep dolls more than puppies last year. If you think that’s surprising, wait until you Search for the airline that allowed people to book entire seats for their spirit dolls on planes… yep!
We asked you what type of dream people Search the most in Thailand. Many of you were right; 89% dream about snakes before the lottery each month! If that’s a nightmare to you, you probably shouldn’t Search for the 8m python that was found behind a restaurant in Bangkok in August (but we know you will!).
The winner of today’s Songkran Challenge is… The Face! The modelling show has taken Thailand by storm, with people hitting Google to find out more following the eventful episodes. Check back tomorrow for the next Songkran Challenge (meanwhile, we’ll be Googling Sabina, to see what she’s been up to).
In today’s spooky Songkran Challenge, we can reveal that the tall ghost is Thailand’s most popular spirit when it comes to Search. If you haven’t met one of these hungry fellows yourself, we suggest only Googling tall ghost sightings during the daytime…
While it’s near impossible, Search for the ‘snowy’ photos of Doi Inthanon National Park and you may understand why people were fooled…! It’s fitting that our final Songkran Challenge is based around water; a huge thank you to everyone who got involved. Happy Songkran! #whatwesearch
Songkran Search
In a celebration of Thai culture and local trends, the most shocking, delightful and funny searches across the past year were highlighted over the Thai New Year - Songkran. The topics of searches were carefully selected and celebrates the Thais' behaviour, highlighting how they use Google Search.
Over a period of six days, a teaser post prompting people to guess which search topic was more searched was posted in the morning, generating buzz and encouraging engagement on our Facebook page. We then revealed the answer to these search questions in the evening.
