With growing concern about the digital divide, Thailand is an important and interesting region to study. There has been very little prior research that has examined the take-up of information technology in this region. The research context for this study is particularly important for two reasons. Firstly, Thailand is considered a rapidly developing country in the Asia Pacific region and, secondly, the regional area of Chiang Mai where the survey was conducted has a population of less than 5% of that of Bangkok the capital of Thailand. The results of this study show a high rate of technology acceptance and use. The findings also indicate that the Internet has achieved wide acceptance as a means of doing business.
