What's the difference in Netflix UK or Thailand apart from the price. £15.99 in UK, Bht 415 here. Do I need a VPN to watch UK version on a Firestick, PC or Smart TV.

Any other IPTV alternatives here, but I do not need 6000 channels, 500 good ones will do.

Content.

 

Due to licensing deals content may or may not be available to stream in certain countries or regions.

Yes, many options detailed here over the years so a search will get you there. I think there are three or four paid services which are supported locally, and that some seem happy with.

Netflix UK you can watch movies with sexual content , but in Thailand those movies are banned.

I remember first joining Netflix here , half of the movies I selected were " not available in your region ".

Meh. Not sure this is an accurate statement.

 

It's more down to licensing. Some content has already been licensed to someone else in a particular region, so Netflix is contractually bound to not stream it there.

 

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/050515/why-netflix-content-different-other-countries.asp#:~:text=This is due to the,the U.S. even when traveling.

 

This is why folks use VPNs to access Netflix in other countries, and why Netflix continues to whitelist VPN IPs.

 

 

Pricing/packaging is affected by many factors, not the least of which is the local markets' price points, and the competition.

UK, my son has added me on his subscription, now would that be the reason i don't need a VPN ?

 

Just curious here, how do you know that you are using U.K. Netflix?

 

Without a VPN, you are definitely using thailand Netflix.

 

Looks like U.K. or Ireland have the largest catalog although this is over a year old...

I ordered a 4K Firestick from Lazada on Friday, Bht 1890 but then looked at the movies & programmes available and very little floated my boat, same on Amazon Prime. So I cancelled the stick.

I have Netflix on my Smart TV but still need a £16 subscription AND Express VPN. But with that I can get all iPlayer, ITV, Ch4 & 5.

Enough movies on P Bay, footie & F1 on Totalsportek, USTVGO for other stuff.

There are only 16 hours a day I can watch telly.

I have assumed my son could only "add" me to his subscription which is the UK version, how would he be able to "add" me to a Thailand version ?

I can assure you i am not using a VPN on my Smart TV to access UK Netflix.

I think you are wrong. I too have a UK subscription, but if I try to watch the UK ( or US) service without VPN or unblocker. I cannot connect and will get a message that something went wrong and an error number. Netflix checks your IP address.

 

Sometimes even with VPN I cannot watch due to buffering. I used to to watch Netflix US because it had more content, then buffering became so bad that it was impossible. Not sure if due to Netflix or internet provider.

 

Netflix are clamping down even more on this now.

 

Just because you may be watching all English language programs, including well known UK shows does not mean you are watching UK Netflix. You will need to actually go into your settings to check.

 

Even with UK subscription, if you travelled to the US, you will only be able to watch US Netflix, Australia, Aussie Netflix, Thailand, Thai Netflix.

No , censored as in bits out of the movie edited out for countries where there is a stricter censorship.

I have not watched the movie so I couldn't begin to guess what is , was or not censored.

When I made the comment about Netflix and Thai cansorship , I was commenting on my experience when Netflix first became available to Thailand in 2016.

Things might have changed , I hope they have.

How to change the region?

Same for Amazon Prime. I'm quite surprised some of the sex scenes in "Peaky Blinders" got through, as well as the language.

Well if what you say is correct i must be watching the Thai version of Netflix cos i certainly am not using a VPN to watch on my Smart TV.

As i previously stated i am not a Netflix subscriber here in Thailand, i get access cos my son in the UK has added me to his Netflix account.

      Deadlocked Between Trump and Harris in NBC News Poll as Election Approaches

      Trump let 3 million illegals into this country. It would have been more, but COVID stopped them. As for inflation, tell me about the impact of Trump's tariffs on the current 2.2% inflation. The economy is at an all-time high. As a foreigner, you probably aren't benefitting from the US economy booming. I made a fortune on the stock market this year, so your gaslighting doesn't impress me.

      Six Thai Police Officers Arrested in 300 Million Baht Fake Warrant Scam

      Cyber cops caught in 300 million baht web of greed by Petch Petpailin Photo via Thai Rath Nine Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) officers and three additional suspects allegedly attempted to extort 300 million baht from a Vanuatu-Chinese couple. Ten suspects were arrested while two others remain at large. The Vanuatu man named Sai and his Chinese wife reported to officers at Bang Sue Police Station that a group of men claiming to be police officers swindled 5.7 million baht from him. The couple stated that the group included police officers, a Thai interpreter named Apartsara Sonklin and her Chinese husband named Yun Daliang. According to Sai, the group raided his home in the Bang Phli district of Samut Prakan province, presenting a document with the royal warrant and garuda emblem of Thailand, which convinced the couple to allow a search. Each police officer communicated with Sai and his wife through Apartsara, who acted as their interpreter. Apartsara read out a legal document to the couple, claiming that a Filipino suspect, who was arrested for making counterfeit passports, confessed that Sai was involved in the crime. Sai firmly insisted on his innocence, stating that he had no involvement in producing fake passports and did not know any Filipino suspects in the case. The situation escalated as the group seized the mobile phones of the couple, their housemaid, and Sai’s Chinese friend. They also inspected Sai’s computer, claiming they needed to search for evidence. 300 million baht demanded The group then offered the couple an ultimatum: pay 300 million baht, or 10 million USDT, to have all legal cases dropped. Sai refused, believing in his innocence. Consequently, the police took Sai, his wife, his Chinese friend, and the maid into their car. During the journey, the officers lowered their demand to 10 million baht, but Sai still refused. The group eventually brought them to the Cyber Crime office, where only Sai and his wife were taken to a separate room. Under pressure, Sai transferred a total of 5 million baht in both baht and USDT to the group. The cryptocurrency transfer went to Apartsara’s account but Sai did not disclose the destination of the baht transfer. After receiving the money, the corrupt officers took photographs of the couple, their maid, and Sai’s friend, then returned their mobile phones and allowed them to leave. However, Sai’s computer remained with the group. On October 17, around 1pm, Apartsara contacted Sai, claiming she knew who was behind his recent arrest but would only reveal the information if he transferred 700,000 baht. Sai agreed and made the transfer to Apartsara’s cryptocurrency account. However, after receiving the funds, Apartsara blocked Sai and provided no information. Suspects deny An investigation by Bang Sue Police Station officers confirmed nine genuine police officers and three others involved in the case, including six police officers and one Thai civilian: Police Lieutenant Colonel Chanachai Jaikla Police Captain Amnuay Kongklin Police Captain Thanakrit Kanchanamart Police Senior Sergeant Major Chayaphon Wongpan Police Senior Sergeant Major Pongthep Sangkala Police Senior Sergeant Major Manassawee Janyaluck Police Senior Sergeant Major Siam Thongmon Police Senior Sergeant Major Suphan Kongsai Police Sergeant Major Kittiphum Jeenplaengchart Warut Wanthongsook Apartsara Sonklin Apatsara’s Chinese husband, Yun Daliang Three of them surrendered at Tung Song Hong Police Station following the summon request including Thanakrit, Suphan, and Kittiphum. Police officers arrested more suspects on October 28, but Apatsara and her Chinese husband remain at large. The suspects were charged under Section 149 of the Criminal Code: requesting, receiving, or agreeing to receive property or benefits and committing illegal acts while holding an official position. The penalty ranges from five to 20 years of imprisonment, life imprisonment, or a fine of 100,000 to 400,000 baht. All suspects denied the allegations and requested bail, providing cash and property as collateral. They were granted bail and must submit documents to clarify their actions within seven years.

      Lost por ror bor sticker

      Hi I recently transferred a motorbike into my name and got the por ror bor sticker. Unfortunately I already lost it. I attached it to my license plate in a round plastic holder which seems to have disappeared. It might have gotten stuck somewhere behind another motorbike when trying to get out of a tight parking spot. It's hard to find info online but from what I've found so far ... is it true I need to go to the police station to report it and then go to the transport office to get a new one? Or is there an easier way?
