Netflix, a media-streaming service provider, has launched a weekly service in Thailand only for new subscribers after a trial run in India last month.
The media-streaming service provider did not make an announcement but new users in Thailand have reported in social media the offer is now available at the rates of 70, 90 and 105 baht per week for its basic (1 screen at a time, standard definition), standard (2 screens, HD) and premium (4 screens, HD and Ultra HD) services, respectively.
Up until now, Netflix offered only a monthly service at 280, 350 and 420 baht a month for the three service tiers.
The more affordable prices will likely allow the California-based company to expand its customer base here, especially among students, who might be more tempted to pay during school breaks.
According to Statista, Netflix had over 158 million streaming subscribers worldwide in the first quarter of 2019. Of the total, 62 million were from the US.
