We love social media in Thailand. There are 24 million users on Facebook. The country’s Twitter activity increased last year. On Instagram, Thailand hosts one the most Instagramed place in the world.

Thailand now has 1.5 million Instagram users, according to data from Zocial Inc. The company behind ZocialRank, which monitors social media trends in the country, has came up with an infographic (embedded below) showing more details about Instagram’s users in Thailand. Here are four highlights:

  • The number of Instagram users in Thailand shot up from 240,000 in 2012 to 1,551,649 in 2013. Fast smartphone uptake will have helped the Facebook-owned photo app.
  • In Thailand, 47.94 percent of Instagram members were active in the past three months.
  • In 2013, there was a total of 36,443,398 photos and videos uploaded on Instagram from Thailand. 96.24 percent were photos.
  • Zocial Inc says that celebrities make up 0.26 percent of the app’s user-base in Thailand. They have an average of 172,013 followers. Meanwhile, 10.48 percent are ‘influencers’ who have an average of 5,636 followers.
