Gaming is an extremely popular pastime in Thailand with more than 80% of people claiming to take part in some kind of gaming. Mobile gaming is the most popular, with online casino and sports betting, console and PC gaming all being enjoyed by a large proportion of the population, too. The most popular games list includes some global favorites, like PUBG and Roblox, as well as titles specific to the Thai and Southeast Asian markets.
1. Arena Of Valor
Arena Of Valor is a battle arena game and is the Thai version of China’s Honor of Kings game. It is available on mobile platforms as well as the Nintendo Switch and although it is most popular in Thailand, it is available around the world. The game launched in 2016 and remains a very popular title with a solid fanbase.
2. Baccarat
Baccarat is one of the most popular casino games in Thailand and can be found at any online gambling website operating there. And, according to gambling expert Narathip Sukanankul, these websites not only provide a wide range of games but a variety of deposit and withdrawal options, too.
In Baccarat, there are really only three possible outcomes, and the banker does all of the work, which means it is easy to place bets and players don’t need extensive knowledge to enjoy a few hands. One advantage of Baccarat is that the player can bet on the dealer to win.
3. Football Betting
Football is the most popular sport in Thailand and its popularity has seen football betting become one of the most popular pastimes. Players bet on the outcome of individual matches, while multiple bets can increase the potential winnings for predicting the outcome of multiple games and events. Football betting is offered by some online casinos, as well as dedicated sports betting facilities.
4. Roblox
As well as casino and sports betting, Thailand has a thriving video game market, with the highest rate of gaming of all Southeast Asian countries. As well as games that are developed specifically for the Thai market, some globally popular games are also very popular. Roblox is essentially a gaming platform that allows players to take part in a whole host of mini games and adventures, including those designed and built by other players. It is popular on mobile as well as desktop and consoles.
5. Call Of Duty
Call Of Duty is another global gaming phenomenon that is popular in Thailand. There have now been 24 mainline Call of Duty games, including COD Mobile, and a new title is typically released every year.

6. Valorant
Valorant is another first-person shooter, launching in 2020. It is described as a tactical hero shooter, and unlike Call Of Duty where most player characters are roughly equal, Valorant’s heroes have different skills and powers.
