Abstract—Knowledge sharing via online social networks may not just be for younger people or people who are still working. This study shows that a prototype of an online social network for older people in Thailand can be of importance for people at this age. The study used qualitative research methods to investigate attitudes of older Thai people who live in the capital city and its surrounding towards social networks and knowledge sharing. This particular online social network prototype was designed, developed and tested by researchers then by experts before conducting the experimental tests with the real sample groups of older people. The researchers conducted the second experimental tests as a follow up study. From the results of UAT (User Acceptance Test) it can be implied that this online social network successfully met the needs of older Thai people in this area.
