"We are excited to bring BIGO Giant Dino to Thailand, the first stop in Southeast Asia, and are heartened by the turnout and response from the local Thai community. It has been more than three years since the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted our daily lives and social interactions, and it was great to see the community come together to see our giant mascot in person and actively participate in the festivities," Yvonne Feng, Vice President, BIGO said.
"As a pioneer in the livestreaming industry, we are always looking for new and engaging ways to bring entertaining content to our users. As we continue our growth in Thailand, we hope to be the bridge between the virtual and physical worlds, and showcase how livestreaming can complement real-world interactions through our events and initiatives. We look forward to organising similar events here in Thailand and continue to spread positivity and joy to the local communities," Yvonne Feng added.
The global tour of BIGO Giant Dino is a part of Bigo Live's ongoing efforts to diversify its offerings and engage with its users and the wider community. The BIGO Giant Dino made its first appearance in London before arriving in Thailand for its Southeast Asian debut. The mascot will next travel back to Bangkok where it will be on display from 3 to 4 September at ICONSIAM, located along the picturesque banks of the Chao Phraya River.
