The community had more or less planned the assault on the most-mentioned topics' summit, but it was never certain those three words could make it since local users are dwarfed in numbers by the worldwide fans of the global social-networking service.

"We made it to number one. Yes. Yes. Yes," said one Thai user.

The news became a buzz within the community in the evening, and the celebratory mood was evident. It was the first time a Thai topic dominated the most-mentioned category of the popular social-network tool of the digital world.

 "#WeLoveKing will be trending topics for today but We Love the King every day krub. :)," said another proud Twitter member. "It feels so great to be a Thai today," added another.

"I wish Thais stop the colour division and join hands like us in the Twitter community," tweeted one man.

The excitement added to the counting as more users joined in, including many Thai celebrities. The number was still increasingly rapidly at press time, with scores of new tweets emerging every few minutes. During a certain period, hundreds of new tweets came up in a matter of minutes.

The actual number of messages was not available last night.
