How do I watch Disney Plus in a restricted country?

Disney+ Hotstar Thailand is origin restricted, meaning outside the country you’ll be unable to access the Thai service. A VPN service such as NordVPN can be used to switch origin and connect to Disney+ Hotstar through a Thai VPN server.

Disney has measures in place to detect VPN access and restrict content altogether so picking the right VPN service is crucial.  In my personal experience, using ExpressVPN was unsuccessful but NordVPN worked seamlessly.

How to access Disney Plus Thailand with NordVPN

1. Sign in to NordVPN (or get a subscription)
2. Select the Thailand VPN server
3. Access hotstar.com/th and log in

Summary

Disney+ Hotstar Thailand is the second biggest subscription service next only to Netflix.  The Thai service although late to the streaming market has Disney blockbusters aplenty. Disney does a great job catering to the Asian and Thai markets with exclusive dubbed local content.

Although Netflix is the market leader, Disney Plus Thailand has a competitive price tag of only 99 THB a month so is definitely appealing to the budget-conscious.
