TRUE is the biggest mobile ( video streaming ) company in Thailand
They uses the domain Truecorp.co.th
Truemoveh.com
Trueid.net
True4you.com
And many more

The country code of Thailand is .co.th

So I was wondering why they don’t own True.co.th
It was taken❗

Last year I done another check on the domain
It was available to register ✅ ( dropped )

I couldn’t register it because you need a company in Thailand to register

I bought the domain True.Movie the perfect match for their Video online streaming

So I called them - emailed them and knocked on the door

I met the chief officer for the Internet and technical department in person

I told him that he now can register True.co.th ✅
He was very happy and told me that he will inform the domain management

Of course I wanted sell them my domain name as well

Long story short

3 weeks ago the domain True.co.th was registered by a third party a beauty company ❗❗❗

Some people need to be forced to their luck

Now I am in touch with the beauty company and she told me that she will get back to me when she wanna sell the domain True.co.th


True Story 🤣

Now I wonder why too.
How long was it available?
Is it possible someone from the company heard about this and registered it then sold it to this beauty company?

In general Thai companies are similar to Indian companies who also averse to spending money on quality domains.

I have had a few quality Thai,Thailand domains for sometime. Sold one to a foreign owned realty company operating in Thailand a few years ago for $12,000 but other than that little interest.
I even have the exact match single word .com for a Thai telecom related product companies flagship product, no interest.

The question is why that big corp hold a few average domains while not willing to spend reg fee to register that premium one?

I agree with you. Thai consumers and thai companies do not have an understanding of the importance of quality domain names. In fact, most companies (incl. the big ones) do not put much focus on their websites. Different from the West, where social media is used to lure customers to the own website, the Thais offer everything from information to subscriptions on their Line and Facebook accounts.
However, Thailand is still a good market for domainers: Thais love abbreviations and many companies registered short .com domains more than 15 years ago and are not aware of the current value.... so its a kind of sourcing market.
