With 3BB’s launch of HBO GO on March 30, Thai users will be able to view the iconic and award-winning programming content from one of the most respected and innovative entertainment brands in the world in a whole new way.
Existing customers can also upgrade to the Gigatainment package for just 39 baht more. They’ll be able to enjoy a variety of premium entertainment content from HBO GO (which is priced at 149 baht in mobile app stores) and Monomax (priced at 250 baht), music, and karaoke via OKE (99 baht). Later in the year, HBO and its other companion channels – HBO Family, HBO Hits, HBO Signature, Cinemax, Red by HBO – will be exclusively part of 3BB’s new IPTV service, which has the official name “3BB TV”.
3BB TV is designed to offer the complete entertainment experience for the whole family across any device, large or small. A selection of other news, sports and documentary channels from others premium studios around the world will also feature in its line-up.
“HBO has a new home in Thailand and it’s great news for those who love streaming our channels, and watching the latest blockbuster movies and series anytime, anywhere,” said Clement Schwebig, Managing Director of WarnerMedia Entertainment Networks in Southeast Asia, Pacific and China, the company that manages HBO in Asia. “3BB has big plans for HBO GO, and their tremendous enthusiasm and commitment is clear.”
In addition to global hits like Westworld, Watchmen, Game of Thrones and His Dark Materials, users will love HBO Asia Originals, including those with a Thai connection. Local cast and crew were involved in Halfworlds S2, as well as episodes in both anthology series Folklore and Food Lore. HBO GO users will easily be able to switch Thai and English. Thai viewers and Westworld fans can watch the full unedited Westworld Season 3 episode one on MonoMax same time as the premiere in US with Thai subtitles on March 16th and later on free TV MONO 29 with both Thai dubbing and Thai subtitles on March 28 at 10:30pm.
Mr. Suhboj Sunyabhisithkul, President of Triple T Broadband (3BB), added that: “3BB has confidence in our award-winning performance of our broadband network. We always promise to deliver the best experience to our customers. But the even better news is that “Gigafiber” offers at least 1Gbps speed upgrade to all customers at the same price, starting at 590 Baht. While another package “Gigataiment” is epic as the best broadband network meets the best content from HBO. The on-demand version of HBO, HBO GO, will be available for the first time in Thailand in March 2020, serving blockbuster movies, renown signature series and TV channels on mobile devices and PCs exclusively on 3BB network.”
The launch of HBO GO and 3BB TV demonstrate the company’s ambition to become a fully integrated telecom and media company. Not only can 3BB customers be entertained with the best local and world-class content, they have access to the most reliable Internet infrastructure at best prices.
3BB’s strategy of combining exclusive content and connectivity is expected to deliver new sources of revenue as well as retaining its customers. Within 5 years, 3BB aims to achieve revenues of 50,000 million baht (40,000 million baht from broadband service and 10,000 million baht from IPTV and media service) with 5 million broadband subscribers, and 3 million additional 3BB TV subscribers.
Both Gigafiber and Gigatainment packages are available now. Gigatainment customers can enjoy MonoMax and Oke for a free trial period, until 3BB welcomes HBO GO officially on March 30. Existing 3BB customers can upgrade their package by visiting 3BB shops nationwide or via the 3BB Member app. For more details, please visit https://www.3bb.co.th/3bb/member.
