“By setting up these Pop-up Spaces for Thai creators, we hope to empower Thailand’s next generation of digital creators to learn, connect and create new content, by giving them access to fantastic studios, and cutting-edge audio, visual and editing equipment,” David Macdonald, head of YouTube Spaces Asia-Pacific, said.

Pop-up Spaces was initiated to support creative communities around the world.

The programme is an investment in the development and growth of these content creators.

YouTube Space Bangkok is its latest effort to support the wave of creativity that it has seen developing in the Thai YouTube creator community over the last few years, Macdonald said.

The first YouTube Pop-up Space in Bangkok will run until Saturday at the G Village Co-Creation Hub on Lat Phrao Soi 18. The facilities are designed to help remove constraints on resources.

Through the Space, creators can access, at no charge, all the latest audio-visual and editing equipment to produce original and innovative digital video content for their own YouTube channels.

The Thai YouTube creator community is one of the world’s most vibrant. In the past year alone, the amount of content uploaded to YouTube in Thailand has grown by 70 per cent, while watch time in Thailand has grown 70 per cent.

The next YouTube Pop-up Space in Bangkok will take place in the week of August 22.

Permanent YouTube Spaces are open in Tokyo, Los Angeles, London, New York, Sao Paulo, Berlin, Paris, Mumbai and Toronto.

The Popup Space programne has already opened in Nashville and Mexico City.
