Will Amazon prime work as a standalone app or do you have to be through a VPN to use it?

Neither of my Firestick would work in Bangkok last year because it was geofenced. Even though I pay for prime, wouldn’t let me access any of the programs. I’ll def use a VPN next time.

do you have any idea what Paramount+ and/or Amazon Prime Video costs in Thailand? Here in Australia, my Amazon Prime, which is just about to expire, cost me $AU75 (about THB1820) for the heart. A Paramount+ subscription I just took up a few months ago cost me pretty much the same.

When I ordered the new 4K Firestick from Lazada I got a US version.

This Lazada Firestick did not have Asia/Thailand-specic apps like Disney Hotstar and HBO Go so we have to cast those Asia apps from phones bought in Thailand and that's a bit of a pain.

Is there a way to Lazada order Firesticks that have the Asia-specific apps?....Or maybe they don't make one.

Don’t buy Firestick too many limitations from Amazon. Get Mii Stick or Box from Xiaomi, basically the same as a Firestick but you have full Google Play store access. Then get iptv service of your choice.

If you a have spare smartphone, use that, load the apps and cast to TV, much better specs than most boxes and easy to control, vs box mouse or airmouse. I do this, excellent

I wasn't that impressed. It's a specialized bit torrent system, if you're familiar with that. If you are not familiar with bit torrents than it's probably a good buy.

The boxes all work the same way and you may install all apps on all of them. Differences are in RAM and ROM and the menu. Also many boxes come along with poor remote control. Imho the Xiaomi MI S is top. I'm still using the 1st Generation Box. I don't know the True Box.

best Box I ever used. I tried many. For the setup and updates I visit a shop at Tukom. They charge me 100,- thb for the service. That's why I don't want a smart TV.

Currently I'm using IPTV. It's 1500,- per year. I tried Wizz, but that's loaded with 90% Brit stuff.

Sure. In my case it's also the name of the App. Others are i.e. Wizz or Vavoo. Tukom has lots of shops doing the Setup for you. Tell them what stuff you want to watch and they install it for you, I.e. Netflix.

If you don't have a smart TV, any android box will include all the usual streaming service apps, or you can easily download any missing apps like Amazon Prime Videos, Disney Hotstar, etc. Unless you are asking about the illegal services that give you pirated access to streaming channels.

there are various sellers of android boxes that either come preloaded with a bunch of pirated movies, or provide illegal pirated access to streaming channels. Don't support such unethical people when most streaming services in Thailand are so cheap already.

I'm just curious as to how much Streaming Services cost in Thailand? This last year, I paid just under $75 (about THB1820) in Australia for Amazon Prime, which I can watch on my Smart TV, Phone or Tablet. Also included is Amazon Prime Music and free delivery on products purchased on Amazon Shopping. Hopefully, I'll move to Thailand to live in the next 12 to 18 months.
