Home » Expats and retirees » Experiences with Netflix
A few days ago there was an article on this blog about a Swedish series “30 degrees in February”. There were a few favorable reactions, mainly because the series is partly set in Thailand. The series can be seen on Netflix
Netflix is an American company that originally in North and South America, but now worldwide, offers a monthly subscription for streaming video on demand via the internet. Netflix has also been available in Thailand since the beginning of this year, see: www.thailandblog.nl/nieuws-uit-thailand/kort-nieuws/netflix-thailand
There were also some good reactions to this and – we are more than half a year later – we are curious whether there are people in Thailand who have had experiences with this film and series provider. Does it work well, is the range of films and series attractive, are Dutch/Belgian series available? Are there Dutch subtitles available or do you need a VPN connection? Any additional information is welcome.
Do you have a subscription? Let us know!
I am not a Netflix customer. However, I have read the question and vice versa, in order to arrive at a possible answer: are there any Thai films or other Asian or Arabic films to watch on Netflix?
If the answer is 'no', then one can assume that Netflix adapts its offer to the country of the subscribers.
If Flemish or Dutch readers who subscribe to Netflix in Thailand can confirm this, it cannot be ruled out that Netflix will 'adjust' its offer in the future…
However, I am convinced that you can watch American (and other English-language) films worldwide on Netflix.
But these are all my personal suspicions.
Why don't you install the Kodi program on your computer. Look on You Tube how to install a "build". And then you can watch thousands of series and movies through a few “addons”. Without
even pay a baht. You can even watch all Netflix series. And you can even install subtitles. And also receive all English TV for example.
Dear Gringo,
First of all my advice to NOT install kodi.
This file is very suspicious and I have already heard from some that they had to do a complete reinstall of the computer because even a virus scan and other "cleaners" could not recover the computer. I couldn't help them anymore.
It turned out that everything could be watched remotely, password cracked, credit card and bank details.
So much misery.
Free yes, then rather not pay ten euros a month for Netflix.
As for Netflix. These also work perfectly in Thailand.
Of course you can take out a Dutch subscription. In addition to the range of English-language films/series/docs, most Dutch subtitles and some Dutch-language films/series are also available.
A VPN connection is not required for this.
I use a Netflix account of a Dutch friend while I live in Belgium. Logging in both at the same time is no problem.
His girlfriend logs in from Thailand, and that too without a problem.
Although the offer if you log in from Thailand is indeed different (not all films are available that are available here in the West).
So if you want to see a complete range that is available from the Netherlands, you need a VPN to watch via a NL server.
VPN servers can be found for free (often with a limited speed and data bundle).
A paid version costs a few euros per month.
Mine is from Private Internet Access, and for about 5 euros per month a fast VPN connection, unlimited data limit and can be used on multiple devices at the same time.

What a nonsense. Not a single virus in Kodi. You will be told that by Netflix, among others. I've been using it for a year and a half and no problem. You can use it on the computer but also on an android box.
There are now even special android TVs especially for kodi and other movie streamers. You can download the program from the Google Play store. So if it's that dangerous it will be blocked there. By the way, many more free movie programs can be downloaded via Android and Apple. All harmless. And you can really watch everything for free in HD quality.
I agree with Guus… viruses due to Kodi or other malware? I have tried Kodi, both on PC and on a very good Android Box. My conclusion? I threw it off again. Not so much because of security, but because almost every time I finally set up Kodi properly, I had to get new updates made before I could watch. Then you also had the problem that many channels were gone again.
My theory: the film distributors such as Netflix or HBO have not fallen on the back of their heads either .. all other TV providers will certainly use experts, who will make their access more difficult for programs such as Kodi and so the developers of Kodi will have to work on a circumvention again of the obstacles that are put in place to watch free TV, with the result that you then have to make an update before (perhaps) you can watch the channel of your choice.
If you still want to watch TV in the easiest way, all you have left is to just legally make your monthly contribution and then become a member of one provider or another. Then you simply have the least problems.
I myself load almost all films and series (including those from Netflix) via a torrent site and then have a film or series without interruption, in a good quality (between 720p and 1080p) for me, without advertising or internet disruptions and also for free…
On Youtube I always find a lot of documentaries, news and facts that really interest me….
Just consume TV? I haven't done that for at least 20 years.
Dear Gringo,
I've had a subscription to Netflix since the beginning of this year and I think it's well worth the 350 Baht/month. I have a regular 10 Mb internet connection and can watch Netflix here in Samroiyod without any interference.
Especially the series like House of Cards, Vikings, Muscetiers, Outlander, etc and the documentaries are very good. Unfortunately, Netflex does not offer new and many feature films. Well-known older feature films.
I have not been able to find Dutch subtitles, but the combination of spoken English and English subtitles is sufficient for me. Perhaps if you have a Dutch IP address via a Dutch VPN connection, Dutch subtitles are possible. Incidentally, there are also no Thai subtitles available.
Netflix. I now have a subscription for about 2 months here in Maerim. The choice of films and especially series is huge on Netflix. The streaming is fine, we rarely have interruptions, while we certainly don't have the fastest internet.
Somehow I had signed up for Netflix through an offer I received via email in the Dutch language. On the confirmation email I received from Netflix, I first took out a trial subscription, which I then went through properly.
With the trial subscription you will receive a confirmation by email, after which you can log in and set your personal preferences. There I opted for Dutch subtitles.
Almost all films, series and documentaries have subtitles in Dutch. If that is not the case, you can choose English subtitles (for those few), for example. By the way, you can click on that on your TV screen for each episode as you wish.
I must say that Netflix works quite logically and easily, you really don't have to be a net for it. The only drawback is that you involuntarily start watching too much television, which is a pity in this beautiful country.
If anyone wants help, email me [email protected].
Recently bought a Kodi box and connected it to my TV and internet. AWESOME. Netflix ? sorry, outdated technology. Disadvantage Kodi box: the user manual / manual ... you will really have to learn via YouTube, because there is NOTHING as a printed documentary.
I have a subscription to Netflix (Netherlands) and a subscription to VPN (recommended to me by a learned friend)
Via my laptop I receive Netflix Netherlands, with Dutch films and cabaret (Teeuwen, Meijer,
De Breij, etc.) Also 30 degrees in February.
Via "Apple TV" I receive the American version (no subscription) on my TV, with a different offer.
I am currently looking at the 2nd volume of NARCOS.
I can't get 30 degrees in February with this.
Some films and series do have Dutch subtitles. Others sometimes only English for the deaf and hard of hearing. "Car starts, dog barks".
Netflix works perfectly here in BKK, have a NL abb and can see everything here that I can also see in NL.
I have had Netflix in Bangkok and ExpressVPN since February 2016, VPN offers other additional options and security.
Narcos in the two different versions is a must Yesterday started season two. The Vikings series is also recommended, as are many films that you have forgotten and can enjoy again. Dutch subtitles sometimes available otherwise English subtitles. You can set up multiple users in your account upon payment.
Satisfied viewer.
I have a Dutch Netflix subscription and I was in Thailand in May/June 2016. I can simply log into my account via the WiFi network of my apartment and have been able to enjoy Netflix just as I can do in the Netherlands. This way I can just watch my favorite movies and series anywhere in the world, at least in Thailand I think.
You don't use a VPN to get Dutch subtitles.
You can use a VPN in TH to make Netflix think you are in NL and thus view the range of Netflix in NL including NL subtitles.
I've had Netflix here in Hua Hin for a few months now. Functions perfectly. If I ever have problems, it's because my internet connection (3BB) fails. But that's a rarity.
It actually hasn't even occurred to me to search for subtitles. i don't miss them.
The offer is good. I already have a whole list of series that I still want to see.
If I'm not mistaken I pay 350 Baht per month. I don't find anything too expensive. Only I actually watch very little television, so I considered giving up. Instead, I have now resolved to watch a little more TV…
I have Netflix from the day it is available in Thailand. Technically it is all in order, made logical even for an a-technical person like me. A major and incomprehensible disadvantage is that you expect, just like in NL where you have NL subtitles, that you will get Thai subtitles; not so. corresponded with them about it. They understand the shortcoming but are not going to do anything about it in the short term. My Nut doesn't speak English enough to follow everything, so that's a pity. I think the costs are very affordable (+/- €7,- per month). I find the offer satisfactory in a good price / quality ratio. It was strange that the series House Of Cards became available more than half a year later than in NL (still without Thai subtitles). It is an own production and you would say a worldwide release date. Corresponded with Netflix about this as well. Unclear explanation, something with rights, so nonsense because own production. I'm against any kind of Illegal viewing, It's just theft and I don't participate in that.
