As for users who spend a lot of time on Facebook, they were irritated when they find out that they are not able to post a comment or press the "like" button for a while.
"But the good thing is that it was not for very long and only affected some functions. Did not affect those who get their timeline. Would But stores that rely on Facebook to have a plan B if it happened again," said Apisilp .
Pawoot Pongvitayapanu, President of e-Commerce Association of Thailand, explained that Facebook users could access about 20 percent of Thailand's website on Monday evening, which meant that businesses could create any new products or services, and potential customers could not press "like" time approximately one hour.

"His impact was worse when it happened ten p.m. to eleven p.m. - maximum time for Facebook users," said Pawoot.

"Facebook is the latest crash also had an impact on the network and image stability, and also influence people's confidence in the management of cloud computing," said Pawoot.
Art Wichiencharoen, senior vice president of Kasikorn Bank, said that the fall had very big impact on its banks, because Facebook is not associated with its online and mobile banking services.
"It's just one of the many channels that we use to send transaction notifications," said Art.
However, he added that KBANK Live Facebook fanpage, which is used for online activities and information might be affected by the accident. "But we have not heard of any adverse effects," he said, adding that the crash would not affect the people's trust in online services, especially in the financial and banking sector, as Facebook is just one of many services.
"You can not drop ATMs. Given, internet and mobile banking are beginning to play a larger role, we must ensure that our infrastructure is quite stable, so that our online services are 100-percent availability," said Art.
