= Digital Divide in Thailand =

Introduction
The digital divide in Thailand is the gap of technology usage and availability between the differ socioeconomic groups in Thailand. By viewing the country in different categories such as wealth, education, age, location, etc. you can pin point which areas have the most and least access/usage of technology.

Categories
To review the gap between these groups you must split your data set in buckets.

Wealth
Thailand since 1988 has continuously lowered their poverty rate from approximately 34% to 9%. However there is a disparity among regions in Thailand. Such that the Northeast and North region account for about 40% of the 9% that are in poverty with the whole kingdom accounting for 9 percent. The South, Central and Bangkok combined are less than 9% of the poverty rate.

Education
Education serves as a category. In Thailand if you attend a University you more than likely will be exposed to the internet and other digital platforms. The internet is readily available at these universities to students, professors and faculty alike. Being associated with higher education grants you the opportunity to be on the right side of the digital gap where you are not being deprived of it.
