jaideejung007 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 BANGKOK — The year 2018 is winding down, so it’s time to briefly remember what we spent the year searching for. Digitally, that is. Perhaps unsurprisingly, much of the Google’s top results in Thailand centered around the happy escapism of lakorn and pop music, plus the romantic difficulties of celebrity couples. Channel 3’s massive hit drama “Love Destiny” easily topped not only the most-searched overall term and TV show categories, but also revived interest in Thai history, as seen in spikes searches relating to the proper way to wear 17th century trousers and cooking Ayutthaya-era dishes. It was also a year for news junkies. Among the most searched topics were the dramatic cave rescue operation in Chiang Rai, the inexhaustible saga over who really owned a 30 million-baht lotto ticket and the anti-dictatorship rap song that nearly broke the Thai internet. Here’s a look at each category. 1 TOP SEARCH KEYWORDS “บุพเพสันนิวาส (Love Destiny)” a lakorn about a modern day archaeology student transported back in time to the feudal era. “บอลโลก 2018 (2018 World Cup)” Thais are as addicted to international football tournaments as ever. “เมีย 2018 (Wife 2018)” a jealousy-charged love triangle drama series “เลือดข้นคนจาง (In Family We Trust)” a thriller about a murder and web of family enmity, loosely based on a real-life Sino-Thai clan. “สัมปทานหัวใจ” a romance drama set on an island off Thailand’s Andaman coast 2 DOMESTIC NEWS “ข่าวถ้ำหลวง 13 ชีวิต (13 Lives Rescued at Tham Luang)” “ข่าวหวย 30 ล้าน (30 million-baht lottery scandal)” “ข่าวน้องอิน (Death of actress Natnicha “In” Cherdchubuppakaree) “ข่าว โอ วรุฒ (Death of actor Warut “O” Waratham)” “ข่าวนิว วงศกร (Death of actor Wongsakorn “New” Poramathakorn)” 3 PEOPLE “Peeranee ‘Mat’ Kongthai” who recently started dating another celeb, Songkran Tejanarong. “Chonlathorn ‘Captain’ Kongyingyong” who was accused of impregnating a woman who later withdrew the claim and apologized. “BNK48” is a girl idol group affiliated with the Japanese band AKB48. “Boonchoom Yanasangwaro” was a monk-sorcerer whose incantations were attributed by some to be behind the successful Tham Luang rescue. 4 TELEVISION SHOWS “บุพเพสันนิวาส (Love Destiny)” a romance lakorn about a modern day archaeology student transported back in time to the feudal era. “เมีย 2018 (Wife 2018)” a jealousy-charged love triangle drama series “เลือดข้นคนจาง (In Family We Trust)” a thriller about a murder and web of family enmity, loosely based on a real-life Sino-Thai clan. “สัมปทานหัวใจ” a romance drama set on an island off Thailand’s Andaman coast. “เกมเสน่หา” two protagonists fall in love despite differences in their social classes....
