Ad-free streaming website Thailand


Many Thai youths have stepped up their game and are becoming leading innovators amongst the Gen-Zers across the globe.

No ads to respect privacy


Best created Thaitube.in.th with the goal of protecting user data. An additional perk is faster loading times, as the focus is on playing the video and not on collecting consumer information for personalised advertisements. 

The website is free to access and the teenager doesn’t expect to gain any profit from it, as posted on Naewna. Hence, it’s not suitable for live streamers or other content creators who hope to monetise their videos, Best shared in a clip

Every time videos have been watched, a history of videos won’t appear on their channel for privacy reasons.


More privacy for the internet


The internet collects a huge amount of data from users every day, sometimes without their knowledge.  Teens like Best makes it easier for us to enjoy the tutorials, and more without having to worry about our privacy.
