The tournament will demonstrate the huge potential of the sports metaverse and also its role in rural development, said Preedok Thongwandee, president of the event’s sponsor, B-Lay Plus Co Ltd. He added that young game players all over the country will be able to access the event.

“First, I would like to thank The Nation and partners for creating a great event like ‘Thailand Metaverse Expo 2022’”, Preedok said.

Preedok said the metaverse would also benefit children in rural areas who have difficulty gaining access to information and technology.

“B-Lay Plus and The Nation will organise the Metaverse Experience Truck. It will travel to rural communities to give children access to the metaverse.”

He added that his company was also developing satellite internet and a mobile library to help introduce rural communities to the metaverse.
