lostoday Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 If Internet service providers provide enough bandwidth capacity that will allow users to watch movies online. If so, I think entry of Netflix company to the Asian TV shows market, will be a big impact. Of course, if the prices for the month of use will be cheap enough. But the prices in America and Europe show us that price for Netflix services isn't only the conversion of currency exchange rates between dollar and euro. But it's adaptation to the average financial situation in the country. If the price will be around several $ per month, then I think that Netflix will find many new customers here in Asia.Why pay for stuff you get for free now? free ? Are you talking about torrents? If so, then the reality is that at some point, I am sure these sites will be blocked in Thailand... Similar as they are in the western world... Maybe next year, maybe in five years? I don't know.. But will happen eventually I don't have any problem paying for a legal alternative .. Especially if it is more convenient Netflix is far more convenient than Torrents.. No need for searching and downloading torrents No waiting for downloading Also using via Apple TV.. Just sit on the couch ... Watch on TV and use the remote... No need to mess with a computer Also app on phone/ iPad Netflix also pays attention to the shows you watch and learns your preferences and then recommends other shows that it thinks you will like This is a great option, as Netflix has so many shows, no way to know them all... And the cost is way less than cable...in U.S. Market.. Only 7.99 per month I don't think I'm talking about torrents. I am talking about all the free stuff (movies, sports ......)on android boxes.

davidst01 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 What are peoples opinions on this now that netflix has been released in Thailand? Content might be weak at present but this will change in the future no doubt once they sort out licensing issues. For $10 a month Im sure most users will keep up the subscriptions. Its so cheap lets get real... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar as they are in the western world... Whilst the authorities can make things a little more inconvenient, there's no effective blocking of torrents in the west.

IMHO Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 What are peoples opinions on this now that netflix has been released in Thailand? Content might be weak at present but this will change in the future no doubt once they sort out licensing issues. For $10 a month Im sure most users will keep up the subscriptions. Its so cheap lets get real... The only complaint is content like you say. It is sometimes hard to find something you haven't yet seen, and I find I'm watching some really old movies because of that. The picture and sound quality is unbeaten. They'll keep getting my 420 Baht/month so long as they don't totally run out of things to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHolmesJr Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 If they want to make a serious impact, they will need to focus on creating original content for asia. (like they do in the US….nobody talks about the films in their library….its a pretty old collection, but everyone raves about house of cards and orange is the new black) The challenge is, how do you crack the original content for asia?

Turkleton Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 They will fail in TH as long they don't have (Asian/Thai) content in the native language, or at least synchronized. Even I can understand English (but not every Hillbilly dialect), I always prefer content in my native language. Everything else ist too exhausting and needs too much concentration to enjoy the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im impressed with some of their original contents thus far. 'Making a murderer' was excellent as was 'Master of none' and 'beasts of no nation'. They will have to make thai movies if they want the thai subscribers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
