Facebook again tops YouGov BrandIndex’s annual brand health rankings for Thailand. In a list featuring a large number of global brands, the social network reigns supreme for the second year in a row.

It is ahead of communications app Line in second, streaming service YouTube in third, and search giant Google in fourth position. E-commerce brand Lazada is in fifth, ahead of retailer Tesco Lotus in sixth.

The list is rounded out by sportswear manufacturer Nike (seventh), convenience store 7-Eleven (eighth), auto manufacturer Toyota (ninth) and Adidas (tenth).

The rankings are based on YouGov BrandIndex’s Index score, which measures overall brand health. The score takes into account consumers’ perception of a brand’s overall quality, value, impression, reputation, satisfaction and whether consumers would recommend the brand to others.
