The most popular video games in Thailand and South-East Asia - Ultimate Guide

Individual tastes are the result of infinite variables, such as the place of birth and the period in which one grew up, the social characteristics of one's country of origin, or even the domestic peculiarities that characterised our family context, our home, even our bedroom. Even when it comes to video games, people's tastes are strongly linked to their context, which has shaped (more than anything else) their mentality, interests and what they expect from life. Traditionally, the passion for video games like F1 22 is to be placed in that particular category of superfluous pleasures that in some cases, when it gets out of a person's conscious control, can turn into an oppressive and obviously harmful habit, capable of sucking up any vital energy and even our ambitions, interests, and social life, plunging us into a tempting parallel dimension where only extreme excitement and endless fun find their place. Regardless of the harmful consequences of an immoderate use of video games, the latter represent a clear attempt on the part of those who use them to get away for a few hours from the reality that surrounds them, to seek an exciting and entertaining diversion with which to pass the time, filling the long afternoons spent at home.

The construction of individual taste


For many populations, including those living in Thailand and other South-East Asian countries, video games represent one of the many ways to immerse themselves in a reality that is completely different from the one they are used to on a daily basis, especially for those who do not live in large metropolises. In this sense, the context to which a person belongs represents a crucial variable in the choice of video games, because the player will naturally be inclined to choose a game or play experience capable of projecting him far away, in a context diametrically opposed to the one in which he already lives and in which his everyday life takes place.

It is certainly no coincidence that one of the most popular smartphone games in South-East Asia is Subway Surfers, which allows players to use a snowboard and roam around the metropolitan setting of an Icelandic city, a natural landscape that must seem curious, bizarre, even unfamiliar to the inhabitants of Thailand. One is naturally attracted to what one does not know, to what holds within itself a mystery to be unveiled or at least something unusual to be explored, to be experienced on one's own skin. It is a way like any other to immerse oneself in distant sensations, to try out new genres of entertainment capable of alienating and further alienating the player from his home territory, catapulting him (if only for a few hours) into lands far away and very different from his own. Video games, in a way, give life to that pleasant illusion that we see in our dreams, and inevitably draw us towards a world of visual and experiential sensations that satisfy our latent curiosity, our desire to create a valid alternative to reality.

Popular games


Other mobile games particularly popular in Thailand and neighbouring countries are Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, a video game focused on team fights between real players, characterised by breathtaking graphics and extreme playability, and also Roblox, which allows every player to immerse themselves in a virtual reality created by the global community, and enriched by numerous virtual experiences that will leave every user speechless. A common trait of all these games is the possibility of sharing the gaming experience with other players from all corners of the world, as if the need to communicate with one's peers (even if only virtually) represented an even more intense need than the desire to play.

Online poker (โป๊กเกอร์ออนไลน์) is also extremely popular in Thailand, particularly that offered by some of the best international gambling portals. Again, the gaming experience can be shared and enjoyed with other players, perhaps located on the other side of the world, in a safe and always fun way. The site also allows each player to take part in real tournaments, making the gaming experience even more unique and electrifying. Each online poker site has been carefully selected according to strict security criteria, and is therefore an absolute guarantee in terms of reliability.

Sometimes, in order to understand something more about the character and individual tastes of the people of a particular country, we need only ask them what their favourite games are. The answer might help us understand something more about them, and ultimately about ourselves.
