I could never understand why my Thai friends would write 555 or 5555 or 55555 on each other's walls on Facebook or as a comment on a status. I eventually decided to ask one of my Thai friends about this unusual practice and all was revealed.
The Thai word for the number 5 is "ha". Therefore, if you write 555 in response to someone's Facebook status you're in fact saying "ha ha ha"!
