Want to watch TV4 Play in Thailand? Whether currently living there or just visiting, TV4 Play won’t work without taking the steps we share in this guide.
And the same applies to other regions, unless you are in the EU and can prove that you currently live in Sweden.
There’s only one reason why TV4 Play does not work in Thailand.
It goes down to rights to the content.
And that’s the same for Hulu, Hotstar, Disney Plus. You name it.
Whatever streaming service you want to access, chances are, it’s not available because of rights issues.
If TV4 Play wants to show some of the content it doesn’t own, it will need to pay for rights to it.
Rights to content are rarely sold in a “worldwide” package, and with TV4 Play being a Swedish only service, it doesn’t make sense for TV4 to acquire rights to the content in places like Thailand.
Especially when considering that in the grand scheme of things, there aren't that many Swedish people residing in Thailand, when you compare it to Sweden’s total population.
Which is where this solution comes in...
To watch TV4 Play in Thailand, you need to make it seem like you are in Sweden.
If you do that, TV4 Play will work for you as it works for anyone in Sweden.
Of course, you will need to create an account while providing a Swedish ZIP code, but if you don’t have one, you can easily get one with a zip code generator.
As far as making TV4 Play think you are in Sweden, though, you need a VPN for that.
VPN Services? They are used for many reasons, but in this case, a VPN service will allow you to change your location virtually.
In this instance, while being in Thailand, you can look like you are in Sweden just by connecting to a Swedish server.
Although when it comes to entertainment services, it’s not quite as simple as this.
Platforms like TV4 Play need to make efforts against VPN services as if they don’t, they are making it easy for people to watch content that they can’t show in the likes of Thailand, and they can get into trouble over that.
This is where PrivateVPN comes in as a Swedish VPN service that naturally cares about Swedish content due to being Swedish. (Blog is in English.)
In fact, at PrivateVPN, we care a lot more about content than numbers, which is why we offer much less servers, but servers that are able to unblock entertainment services that people care about.
But that’s something you can find out by yourself as PrivateVPN comes with a 7-day free trial with no need for a card, and works on up to 6 devices at one time, meaning you can hook up your entire family with services that don’t work in Thailand.
In this instance, to watch TV4 Play in Thailand, simply connect to a TV4 Play server, and you are ready to go.
It’s possible too.
However, not quite as simple as you could imagine.
That’s because most smart TV platforms, as well as Apple TV, Chromecast, and Roku, don’t support VPN services, making it hard to watch TV 4 Play on a TV while in Thailand.
Solution?
Either get an HDMI cable and connect your laptop or a TV to a projector or....get a Fire TV Stick ,which supports VPN services.
