Thai Wikipedia
The Thai Wikipedia (Thai: วิกิพีเดียภาษาไทย) is the Thai language edition of Wikipedia. It was started on 25 December 2003. As of April 2026, it has 181,260 articles and 540,982 registered users. As of March 2022, Wikipedia (all languages combined) was ranked 14th in Alexa's Top Sites Thailand.
As of January 2021, the Thai Wikipedia is the most visited Wikipedia in both Thailand and Laos. In Laos the position of the most popular language version of Wikipedia alternates between English and Thai.
On 31 January 2006, the Thai Wikipedia was first recognized along with English Wikipedia in the Thai press. In 2007, a thesis, Thai Wikipedia and Communicating Knowledge to the Public, was published by a graduate student from the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Chulalongkorn University.
The Thai Wikipedia was mentioned during a public forum during the 2005-2006 Thai political crisis when a speaker suggested that Thai people should read Wikipedia's article on Thaksin Shinawatra, the former prime minister.
The Thai Wikipedia is the second online encyclopedia in the Thai language after the Thai Junior Encyclopedia Project, which was developed under the patronage of King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
On January 7, 2011, it was reported that Juti Krairiksh, the Minister of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), instructed CAT Telecom to allocate 10.7 million THB to hire a translation service for 3 million English Wikipedia articles into Thai. This project utilized Statistical Machine Translation technology, with the translated content hosted on www.asiaonline.com. However, by 2012, the website www.asiaonline.com had ceased operations for unknown reasons, and the exact date it stopped providing services remains unclear.
On October 11, 2012, dtac launched the Wikipedia Zero service, allowing access to Wikipedia without data charges. The service was first introduced at the Professional Development for Teachers exhibition (Educa 2012).
On April 27, 2014, dtac launched the "Expanding Knowledge for Thai Society with Wikipedia" campaign, encouraging its employees to translate English Wikipedia articles into Thai. The project aimed to create 5,000 Thai articles with over 10,000 combined volunteer hours. Taweetham Limpanuparb, a coordinator for Wikipedia volunteers in Thailand, noted that the Thai Wikipedia had significantly fewer articles compared to other languages, and many existing entries were brief or incomplete. He also highlighted the low number of volunteers relative to the internet-using population, stating that an increase in contributors would help bring the quality of Thai Wikipedia content to the level of developed nations.
