Facebook Trends in Thailand 2024
Despite recent challenges, Facebook continues to be a major platform in Thailand, particularly for SMEs and B2C marketing. As of early 2024, Facebook’s ad reach in Thailand was equivalent to 77.7% of the local internet user base, regardless of age. However, the platform’s effectiveness for B2B marketing is limited due to fewer targeting options. For B2B companies, Facebook remains useful primarily for employer branding and internal communications rather than direct client engagement.
Instagram Trends in Thailand 2024
Instagram is used by 26.1% of Thailand’s population, translating to 29.9% of the eligible audience aged 13 and above. The platform saw an 8.1% increase in potential ad reach over the past year, despite a slight decline in the last quarter. While Instagram is highly effective for B2C marketing due to its visual nature, it also serves as a tool for showcasing company culture and internal branding for B2B companies
TikTok Trends in Thailand 2024
Thailand leads globally in TikTok market penetration, with 75.8% of adults aged 18 and above using the platform monthly. TikTok’s user base skews younger and slightly more male (51.1%). This makes TikTok a powerful platform for B2C engagement, though its utility for B2B remains limited. Nonetheless, TikTok’s ad reach grew by 10.2% over the past year, indicating its increasing popularity and potential.
YouTube Trends in Thailand 2024
YouTube remains a dominant platform in Thailand, with an ad reach of 61.5% of the population.

Over the past year, YouTube’s ad reach increased by 0.7%, reflecting its continued relevance.
LINE Trends in Thailand 2024
LINE continues to be the most popular messaging platform in Thailand, with 95% of mobile internet users using it monthly. LINE allows businesses to send real-time messages and share content directly with customers, making it especially effective for B2C communication. However, its utility for B2B is limited, though it can be used for internal communications and fostering company culture.

LinkedIn stands out as the premier platform for B2B marketing, with 5.00 million users in Thailand. It is ideal for reaching business leaders, C-Suite individuals, and decision-makers, making it highly effective for lead generation through executive branding and content marketing.
