The Data

21% (232 of 1,098 detected)
Joomla on .th domains
Source: WebPulse Common Crawl scan, 4M+ sites.
51% (560 of 1,098)
WordPress on .th domains
Source: WebPulse Common Crawl scan.
9% (94 of 1,098)
Angular on .th domains
Source: WebPulse Common Crawl scan.

We published a story about Russia being the Joomla capital (12%). Thailand has nearly double that rate. One in five detected Thai websites runs Joomla — a framework most of the world considers dead. Thailand's web development community built on Joomla while the rest of Southeast Asia went WordPress, and the installed base never migrated.

The Angular Surprise

Thailand also has 9% Angular — the third-highest Angular rate of any country after Korea (14%) and Sri Lanka (12%). Thailand's framework landscape is unusual on two fronts: heavy Joomla legacy AND strong enterprise Angular adoption. The combination suggests a market where enterprise and legacy coexist without either dominating.
