Ms. Nauwarat Thamsauydee, CEO of Bitkub Ventures, shared her insights on the venture and partnership by stating: “This collaboration is considered an important milestone as Bitkub Ventures strongly believes that blockchain technology will become an integral part of driving play-to-earn games, which has further supported the revolutionary change of the gaming industry in the past year. We have strong confidence that YGG SEA is an important factor in providing opportunities to players to build income without any initial costs or investments. With this belief, we have pushed forward this partnership to further strengthen the game-playing experience and access to digital assets of every player out there.”
Mr. Sugrit Phutaviriya, CEO of Bitkub Labs, elaborated further about the mission and goals of the partnership: “Bitkub Academy is a pillar in distributing knowledge regarding blockchain technology, digital assets, the Metaverse, and play-to-earn games to elevate the mass’ understanding of information, as well as techniques and points to be cautious of when investing or playing. Furthermore, we have supported players under the GuildKUB scholarship program in playing popular games; Axie Infinity and WonderHero. Hence, this partnership between all three companies is a hallmark in supporting the gaming community and its popularity to grow widely and sustainably.”
Mr. Evan Spytma, CEO of Yield Guild Games SEA, also added through his visionary words: “YGG SEA is a subDAO that supports NFTs and play-to-earn in the southeast Asian region immensely with the goal to building and reinforcing the community to be the biggest in the region. In this auspicious occasion, we have realized the potential of Bitkub Ventures in supporting GameFi and play-to-earn games, as well as Bitkub Labs’ expertise in creating a widely-attainable and unprivileged access to information regarding digital assets, which will all be crucial in boosting the change in the world’s gaming industry, especially with the goal of connecting players to investing of the future in a secure and effective manner. With these alignments kept in mind, we decided to promptly collaborate to build a GameFi community to progress further into the sustainable future.”

Bangkok is known as a vast, sprawling city that’s home to millions of people. The streets and sidewalks are clogged with car and foot traffic every day, and many people have resigned themselves to the Bangkok of today.
But one progressive developer doesn’t think that people need to accept something that can be changed. With careful planning and incorporating the natural environment into those plans, there can be pockets of greenery and natural trees that make the city more livable.
Mulberry Grove Villas
Mulberry Grove Villas are spacious, luxury private villas that provide intergenerational living space for families, surrounded by natural greenery and mature trees. Mulberry Grove is part of The Forestias development planned for the Bangna area of Bangkok.
Mulberry Grove Villas offers a clustered approach to living that creates a close-knit neighbourhood of people taking care of one another. The villas are interconnected with walkways that invite multiple generations of a family to live in adjacent villas.
The villas are designed to be flexible and offer various floor plans to comfortably accommodate small or large families. With a spacious open-air design that features large windows overlooking the surrounding natural environment, your family will feel as if they’re far away from the big city.
Purchasing the ultimate villa residence in Bangkok also entitles your family to use the Mulberry Reserve Club. This exclusive private club offers the Play Room, a room just for the kids with games, toys and activities to keep young minds active and engaged.
For adults, the club also has The Studio. This modern, air-conditioned fitness room has the best in state-of-the-art aerobic and weight-training equipment for active adults.
The Mulberry Reserve Club also features a steam room, sauna, and large, luxurious swimming pool where you can relax and play with your family and gaze out at the natural environment that surrounds you.
Close to Shopping and Other Needs
Part of the beauty of investing in a luxury villa at Mulberry Grove is that while a natural environment will surround you, you’ll still be very close to all the shopping, dining, and other facilities that a family needs to make their lifestyle complete.
The MegaBangna Shopping Mall is just a few minutes’ drive from The Forestias, and the central business district of the city is easily reached by car or by taking the Airport Express rapid transit train.
Enjoy Family Life Surrounded by Nature
The progressive concept behind the Mulberry Grove Villas allows a family to live a modern lifestyle surrounded by healthy greenery in a warm, inviting community but still enjoy all the benefits of city living.

Indicating popularity of local eateries that allow diners to experience no additional charges and convenient use
(PR News) In less than two years since its start, homegrown food delivery platform “Robinhood” reaffirms again another success in its mission to promote small businesses.
After receiving positive feedback from eateries and customers, the application recently surpassed a market share of 21% for food delivery services in the Greater Bangkok by EUREKA, an international market research company leverage on telecom and alternative data.
This time, Robinhood’s ascension to the second most popular food delivery service in Thailand indicates both its competitiveness against overseas service providers and the widespread acceptance of its service excellence by users. This success will pave the way for future growth and development, with the goal of becoming a Thai Super App as stated in the company’s plan.
As the developer and service provider of the Robinhood platform, Purple Ventures Co., Ltd. Chairman of the Board, Mr. Thana Thienachariya recently noted that, “Our unwavering dedication to building the platform in order to assist small businesses and delivery riders in surviving COVID-19 disruption has set Robinhood apart from other food delivery service providers. This commitment has developed into the platform’s strength, allowing it to garner a positive response from users. After just 20 months in operation, Robinhood has risen to become the second most popular food delivery service provider in the Greater Bangkok, with 21% of the market, according to data analytic by EUREKA, an international market research company leverage on telecom and alternative data. Along with making the entire Robinhood team proud, this outstanding achievement demonstrates the potential and competitiveness of Robinhood internationally, as we are the only Thai food delivery platform among foreign service providers. This will create prospects for growth and diversification of the firm.”
Mr. Srihanath Lamsam, Chief Executive Officer at Robinhood developer and operator Purple Ventures Co., Ltd. noted, “Robinhood has expanded in every aspect over the course of its twenty-months since it was launched. Today, the platform has over 225,000 stores listed, over 2.8 million registered users, over 30,000 food delivery riders, and an average of 180,000 daily orders. As for Robinhood’s next step, we remain committed to establishing a social business model by expanding our variety of services to include dining, travel, shopping, and delivery. The extension of services will begin with “Robinhood Travel,” a no-commission all-in-one online travel service. We hope this provides another option for Thai businesses to avoid the increasing costs associated with using online channels to offer their rooms. The feature is now available for trial use. Following that, the platform will extend into Mart Service for grocery shipment and Express Service for general delivery, laying the groundwork for the platform to develop into a “Thai Super App ” capable of competing and growing as a regional player.”

(PR News) Search engine optimisation, or SEO, is a valuable part of online marketing for any company. Since few companies can operate their own digital marketing strategies, hiring an SEO company to assist with strategy creation has become commonplace.
It can be difficult for those looking to hire an SEO company to know which agencies will be the best fit for your business’ needs and provide you with top quality services. This article will give you an overview of qualities that you can find in the best SEO companies.
They have a great portfolio
One of the best traits to look for in an SEO company that you are looking to hire is a great portfolio of past work. Looking at their previous work will give you an idea of the quality of their services and the kinds of services they have succeeded in providing.
A great way to see if an SEO agency will be a good fit for your business is to see if they have worked on projects similar to yours in the past. You can examine their portfolio to look for the kinds of services you are interested in and be confident that they can do the same for your company.
They don’t guarantee results
Another trait of the best SEO companies is that they don’t guarantee results. Any digital marketing expert knows that developing a good SEO strategy requires a bit of trial and error, even for experts.
Both customers’ needs and search engine algorithms are constantly changing. There is no guarantee that a particular approach will always result in a particular place in search results or a specific increase in website traffic. You want to be sure that you are working with a company that is upfront about this and not trying to get new customers by setting unrealistic expectations.
They are transparent about services
Another way to tell a great digital marketing agency is by looking at their level of transparency when they give you a consultation. A best practice in hiring any SEO company is to ask them questions about their approach and how they will handle your online marketing needs.
They should clearly answer your questions and provide you with clarity about their process. SEO is not magic, and there is no secret to how it works, so be wary of any SEO companies that are secretive about how their services work.
Find the best SEO company for you
There are many great SEO agencies out there to choose from. To get the best out of any SEO company, look at their portfolio, check that they don’t guarantee results, and make sure that they are transparent about the services that they offer. Follow the tips above to ensure that you work with a quality company that will meet all your online marketing needs and provide you with a great customer service experience.

•With over THB 200 millions investment prepared for 2022, the super regional shopping centre is set to join forces with its partners for some incredible activities and campaigns as a thank you to their customers, reaffirming the status as Eastern Bangkok’s leading shopping centre. •Furthering their journey with “Megacity”, the THB 67 billion-mixed-use project is being developed to be the city of the future for all.
SF Development Company Limited, the management of shopping centre is all geared up for the glorious celebration of the shopping centre’s 10th anniversary. Throughout its awe-inspiring first decade, Megabangna has already welcomed more than 500 million visitors.
It stands side by side with the community and is a significant driving force behind the development of the Bangna area as well as people’s quality of life. Their next chapter will encompass the future developments of Megabangna and Megacity, including special activities and promotional campaigns held in celebration of the shopping centre’s 10th anniversary throughout May of 2022.
Palinee Kongchansiri, President of Megabangna Shopping Centre and Megacity, expresses her thoughts on this great milestone.
“Over the past 10 years, Megabangna has been such an inspiring phenomenon within the retail industry. The project successfully transformed an empty plot of land on Bangna-Trat road into Southeast Asia’s largest low-rise shopping centre. Such an achievement is made possible largely due to the visions of our top executives who strive to create, not just a shopping mall but ‘Your Everyday Meeting Place’ to answer the needs of all customer groups. Their wish is for Megabangna to curate experiences that no other shopping malls can offer.
“Our strength is the massive piece of land, which can accommodate many more new developments and additions, both commercial and non-commercial.
Mega Park is one example. Building an expansive 7-rai park within our shopping centre area was unprecedented and something no other urban shopping malls had ever done. The park is created as a new green space of the Bangna area. It welcomes everyone, free-of-charge with a hope to become a new hangout space for the Bangna residents.
We keep ourselves fresh and exciting to best fulfil our customers’ demands and expectations, from the renovation of our landscape and facilities, keeping ourselves up to date with our tenant mix and the latest trends, as well as hosting marketing campaigns and activities with collaborations with our amazing partners.
All of these qualities are what make Megabangna the perfect Meeting Place for everyone. This is where people spend their quality times, whether byself or with their loved ones, because we have everything to cater to their every need, from shopping, dining, enjoying our impressive cinematic facility, to healthy activities such as exercising, or a simple hanging out with friends. We offer activities that have become a part of people’s everyday lifestyle, and with what we have to offer, Megabangna has risen to be one of the most popular and one of the first shopping malls to be top of mind for Thai people.”
Even during the years of the Covid-19 pandemic, Megabangna has been able to adjust its strategies to pull itself through the worst of the crisis. With the shopping centre reopened, we are able to rebuild customers’ trust, ensuring that our services and operations are carried out under all the required health measures. In 2021, we welcomed over 42 millions visitors and new tenants including the premium tier brands such as CHANEL FRAGRANCE & BEAUTY, GUCCI BEAUTY, DIOR COSMETICS, YSL, YUZU SUKI, KAM’S ROAST, and THONG SMITH, to name a few, who bring their establishments to Megabangna, extending our 100% occupancy rate.
The three strategies to our success include:
1. EVOLVING TENANT MIX: At the core of a “Successful Retail Destination” is the management of a constantly evolving tenant mix. Megabangna always keeps our tenants’ stores fresh and up to date, keeping up with our ever-changing customer behaviours and trends. Our intention is to make Megabangna a ‘One-Stop Shopping Destination,’ which answers to the lifestyles and needs of people from all generations.
We are home to five key anchors. The partners we consider to be the prominent magnets that bring more visitors into our shopping centre.
1. IKEA: The world’s largest furniture retailer from Sweden that chooses Megabangna to be the home of its first store in Thailand. 2. HOMEPRO: Thailand’s number one home improvement centre with a comprehensive range of products from home decoration items to electrical appliances and furniture. 3. CENTRAL@MEGABANGNA: Repositioned from Robinson Department Store, Central@Megabangna can accommodate the lifestyles of Megabangna’s clientele with increasing demands for more premium products and services. A plan is also currently underway for further expansions in the near future. 4. BIG C EXTRA: The hypermarket brand that offers a comprehensive range of everyday consumer products at affordable prices. 5. MEGA CINEPLEX, BLU-O BOWL, SUB ZERO ICESKATE: The entertainment complex for everyone.
Megabangna’s customers will also be able to enjoy new experiences from a number of new stores such as CAMPER, MOSSIMO, SAEMAEUL SIKDANG, MOS BURGER, OHKAJHU, SUSHIRO, ACE, AMD, YAKINIKU LIKE, and DYSON DEMO. Meanwhile our existing tenants have renovated their shops, keeping the retail spaces and shopping experiences fresh and exciting.
2. NEW & NOW EXPERIENCE: Megabangna never rests on our laurels. We continue to develop and offer new customer experiences. At Megabangna, shoppers are kept informed about the new trends while being granted incredible benefits and privileges, especially the members of Mega Smile Rewards. With our special ‘365-Day Marketing Campaign,’ the members can collect the “smile” points, which can be redeemed for a wide range of rewards or discounts.
Megabangna, together with our business allies and tenants, will be hosting a variety of marketing activities all year round, bringing our shoppers the best possible benefits and shopping experiences.
The gifts we have prepared for our campaigns are all carefully selected, trendy and high quality items. The plans we have been preparing for this year’s holiday seasons be it the New Year, Chinese New Year or Songkran Festival will turn the shopping centre into one massive festivity with performances, activities and themed decorations for every family member to enjoy their time as well as some Instagram snaps and Facebook check-ins. All the activities and spaces are curated to embody our concept that Megabangna is more than just a shopping mall but everyone’s everyday meeting place.
3. SUSTAINABILITY & ECO-FRIENDLY OPERATIONS: Attracting and managing a massive amount of visitors is both a challenge and a mission for every staff member at Megabangna. With this in mind, Megacity is developed to become a large-scale community with a new lifestyle that will distinctively set Megabangna apart from other shopping centres.
With our vision, the project will bring sustainability to the traffic of visitors. Having an expansive 400-rai land on such a strategic location with great economic potential is certainly an advantage, which allows Megabangna to turn the vast undeveloped space into a perfect city. In 2017, Megabangna announced its plan for the development of Megacity. The THB 67 billion-mixed-use project will be home to residential projects, office buildings, schools, hotels, entertainment complex and many other attractions with Megabangna Shopping Centre sitting as the hub. Once completed, the project is expected to draw an average of 250,000 visitors per day, generating a dynamic traffic that will circulate within Megabangna and Megacity. By carefully and thoughtfully mapping out the project as one big picture, Megabangna and Megacity will be moving toward a sustainable growth and trajectory.
Megacity is a long-term investment. The project has received overwhelming interests from our business allies and leading real-estate development companies, who recognize the potential and opportunities that Megacity has to offer. 40% of the project has now been completed, with other components currently underway such as the Mega FoodWalk extensions, which will be accompanied by an additional parking facility with 1,200 parking spaces and 30 new restaurants. The new addition also includes IKEA’s 8-story high, 2,000-car park building connected to the IKEA Store. These new facilities altogether increase Megabangna’s parking capacity to accommodate up to 12,000 vehicles at a time.
The Mega Smart Kids Zone now houses more than 20 educational institutes, not to mention the gigantic indoor playgrounds inside Mega Harborland and Mega Park. Megacity is also home to Didyasarin International Primary School, two condominium projects, one of which already finished the construction and in the handover process while the other condominium project is expected to complete within 2023.
Megacity has also recently welcomed Southeast Asia’s first TOPGOLF. The sports entertainment complex will occupy 29-rai space inside Megacity and serve as a new attraction and hangout space, not just for golf enthusiasts but everyone. TOPGOLF will bring together gaming, sports and mini golf facilities, with restaurants serving both Thai and international food, including the rooftop sports bar, offering a new lifestyle space for all. Scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2022, TOPGOLF is believed to be one of our key magnets with the ability to attract diverse groups of visitors with its never-before-seen sports and entertainment experiences.
“The development of Megabangna and Megacity is still our company’s main focus. Another upcoming project is the expansion of Central@Megabangna. With the additional 10,000 square meter space, the entire retail space will be revamped with more organized zoning of products and services to deliver the best possible shopping experiences. The new extension will also welcome the Central Food Hall with a wider range of products and services to answer to our customers’ increasing and diverse demands. Additionally, with our location being close to Suvarnabhumi Airport and several industrial estates in the eastern region, Megacity will be an ideal project for investors. We are currently in talks with our new partners over the development of a business hotel, which will sit on a 13,000 square metre-land inside Megacity.”
Eco-friendly operation is one of the essences of how Megabangna is managed. Over THB 1 billion has been invested on the development of energy conservation projects and community green spaces, coinciding with our intention for the shopping centre to coexist with the neighbourhood and its people, and together create a better quality of life.
Our contributions in the protection of the local and global environment include the minimized use of chemicals with the in-door air conditioning system to reduce health risks and maximize the safety of our staff while maintaining a more positive impact on the environment.
The 17,000 solar cell panels installed on the expansive 60,000 square meter surface of the shopping centre’s roof will produce the maximum solar power of 13-million kilowatt-hours per year and reduce carbon dioxide emission up to 8.3 million kilograms per year.
Consequently, this will cause the air conditioning system to consume 20% less electricity. The construction of a new, internationally standardized wastewater treatment plant with chemical-free membrane technology will produce treated water with a good enough quality to be used in watering plants and cleaning inside the shopping centre, and lessen over 100,000 units from the total annual water consumption.
Included in our new extensions are more green spaces that are open to the public, free of charge. Our Mega Park, which is sited on 7 Rai land (11,200 square meter), is intended to be a new local public park for the Bangna residents. The park includes play areas for children with playground equipment with high quality and safety standards as well as tree houses, fountains and artificial waterfalls.
The park also welcomes visitors with pets to use and participate in special activities without any fee. Not only that, the Mega FoodWalk’s extension is designed to be a semi-outdoor space with a beautifully curated landscape of rocky hills, streams and waterfalls.
The outer perimeter of Mega FoodWalk is revamped into a landscape with the Scandinavian Playground concept, which consists of a massive playground with a Stream Valley where visitors can hang out and relax.
The Sand Dune Zone, which is open for children to play for free, is designed into a luscious, shaded area. All these green spaces and facilities serve as an urban oasis that Bangkok rarely gets to see. Despite being well aware of the commercial opportunities this space can bring, we choose to give this wonderful recreation ground to the community and our customers, in hope that it will become a place where family members spend their quality time together; a space everyone can truly benefit from and enjoy.
In celebration of Megabangna’s 10th anniversary, over THB 20 million worth of marketing budget will be spent on our special campaigns and promotions as our way of saying thank you to our customers who have been supportive of us throughout our amazing first decade.

The Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) is offering incentives for customers who switch from paper bills to electronic bills.
The first 6,000 users who register for the MEA e-Bill scheme will receive 140 PTT Blue Card Points for discounts and privileges at participating restaurants, theatres, hotels and stores.
Switching to electronic bills will save on paper and reduce deforestation, MEA said.
The agency, which is responsible for distributing electricity in Bangkok, Nonthaburi and Samut Prakan, said its new system will make bill payment more convenient for customers in line with the Thailand 4.0 strategy and digital government plan.
“Apart from facilitating electricity users, it also helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions and garbage volume,” MEA said.
Under a separate campaign, customers who sign up for e-bills and register at https://eservice.mea.or.th/measy will get 500 MEA Points and another 500 points after joining the MEA Point programme. The 1,000 points can be redeemed for a 100-baht reward. Registrants will get another 80 points each time they make their payment via e-bill, or 50 points after paying via other channels.
