The soc.culture.thai newsgroup was inaugurated on April 28, 1991 with the intent to be a forum to discuss information relevant to Thailand, Thai people and their culture. With an estimated 2000 messages a month, posts cover topics related to travel information, news, politics, food and recipes, and telecommunications. There are notices of Internet resources related to Thailand, people looking for pen pals, as well as frequent messages by some long standing posters to this newsgroup. The Frequently Asked Questions files for this group are extensive, focussing on such areas as Culture, Figures, Language, Travel, and Technical Questions.
