  • Huge untapped potential.
  • Infrastructure set to rival its neighbouring countries (Malaysia, Singapore) in near future.
  • Like Philippines, Thai gamers are well invested in the competitive side of things.
  • The Thai government is rumoured to be pushing for country-wide 4G coverage in upcoming years.

Pros:

  • Relatively low startup and operating cost for independent studios.
  • Growing infrastructure and the number of present mobile users and mobile gamers allows plenty of room for growth.

Cons:

  • Language. English is not widely used in the country and currently holds a rating of ‘Very Low Proficiency’ at 47.21.
  • Local politics instability, which is a hindrance to long-term plans.

“Thailand is becoming a key market for mobile games and studios,”  – Jakob Lykkegaard, co-founder & CEO of Playlab
