STEPVR, a world leader in metaverse technology and the creator of many first-of-its-kind VR solutions, is entering the Thailand market.

The company just incorporated their Thailand legal entity, Petabit, with a local shareholder, and partnered up with Hahama Co Ltd, an entertainment agency in Bangkok with over 100 arcade game stores across the country. STEPVR is going to help Hahama Co Ltd transform these traditional arcades into high-end metaverse portals.

This is huge news, as the partnership is going to launch the first large-scale, multiplayer VR experience in the whole country, powered by STEPVR technology. The metaverse company hopes to pave ways for local Thailand game producers to start producing content with their hardware and software technology.

WHY THAILAND

STEPVR set their eyes on Thailand because it has a young energetic population with a lot of appetite for growth and entertainment. Numbering around 71 million people (as of the statistics in 2021), with over 70% of it in the productive age group between 15-65 years old, Thailand shows big promise to adopt VR en masse. It does not have any significant VR products in the first place, but it has a pretty high GDP, at about 21 057 USD, it ranks just right after China.

Every day in the country youngsters are going out in throngs, from morning to night time, populating shopping malls, concerts, fairs, pubs, and nightclubs. Without a doubt there is a lot of appetite and demand for social activities. People have high purchasing power and they are looking for opportunities to spend, to be entertained, to mix and mingle with others. Most importantly, there is no significant VR product yet in the country. Hence this seems to be a big gap in a booming market that STEPVR can easily fulfill.

Culturally, Thailand so far is showing promises to transform into the most open-minded, progressive, and innovative country in Southeast Asia across all industries, from medicine and healthcare, to entertainment, to finance and technology. It does not seem to be a far stretch that this country is going to be open-minded enough to adopt the concept of a metaverse, the next generation 3D internet.
