As the Thai operator preps for the launch of an IPTV service later in 2020, Triple T Broadband has inked a deal with WarnerMedia Entertainment Networks to make its 3BB service the home of HBO in Thailand from 30 March 2020.

The agreement is designed to allow 3BB’s 3.3 million subscribers access to the HBO channel and its content via the HBO GO app through a range of broadband packages. At the same time, HBO GO will also be available for download as a standalone service from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

3BB’s High Speed Gigitainment packages, which now include HBO GO and other entertainment options such as MonoMax and Karaoke app, start at Bt629, upsized from the traditional data packages priced at Bt590. WarnerMedia’s suite of six HBO linear channels will also be available on the forthcoming 3BB IPTV service.

HBO GO allows subscribers unlimited access to stream and download thousands of hours of non-stop and uncut entertainment. This includes the latest first-run Hollywood blockbusters and exclusive original content from HBO and CINEMAX, as well as Asian movies, series and all-time favourite kids’ programmes. In Asia, HBO GO is also available in Vietnam, Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore, and will be launching in even more territories and with new partners soon.

In addition to global hits like Westworld, the deal will see Thai users able to watch 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 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, Southeast Asia, Pacific and China, which manages HBO in Asia. “3BB has big plans for HBO GO, and their tremendous enthusiasm and commitment is clear.”

Subhoj Sunyabhisithkul, president of Triple T Broadband (3BB), added: “It is a great pleasure for 3BB to work with HBO. With HBO's large group of loyal fans in Thailand and long-standing success, 3BB is confident that this collaboration will entertain our 3 million plus 3BB customers nationwide, and they’ll enjoy watching HBO's premium content on our platform.”
