"Quick, guess the most popular place in the world to post a pic to Instagram. Times Square? Nope. The Eiffel Tower? No. The Golden Gate Bridge? Wrong again. \nInstagram users' favorite place to filter photos this year was actually Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand. The runner-up location: Bangkok's Siam Paragon shopping mall. \nThe recently controversial photo-sharing network revealed its top 10 most popular locations for 2012, according to geotags, in a blog post released Thursday. \nThe list is likely to surprise many. But if you've ever spent time refreshing Instagram's \"Explore\" tab at night and been perplexed by a propensity of photos from Thailand, it starts to make sense. \nDespite Bangkok's domination, locations in the United States take seven of the next eight spots with the lone exception being the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Sports venues and the Los Angeles area are also represented particularly well. Here's the entire top 10 as shared by Instagram: \n\nSuvarnabhumi Airport - Bangkok, Thailand\nSiam Paragon shopping mall - Bangkok, Thailand\nDisneyland Park - Anaheim, Calif.\nTimes Square - New York, N.Y.\nAT&amp;T Park - San Francisco, Calif.\nLos Angeles International Airport - Los Angeles, Calif.\nDodger Stadium - Los Angeles, Calif.\nEiffel Tower - Paris, France\nStaples Center - Los Angeles, Calif.\nSanta Monica Pier - Los Angeles, Calif.\n\nIf Instagram can continue to gain users at an astronomical rate following this month's terms of service fiasco, this list could look quite a bit different at the end of 2013. This was truly the year of Instagram \u2014 with explosive growth, a true entrance into the cultural mainstream and a massive acquisition by Facebook. \nWhat will next year's top geolocation list look like? Let us know in the comments. \nThumbnail image courtesy Gramfeed.com, bbnatta"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
