EDIT: Tittle should read: Internet in Krabi, not Krani

Hello everyone,

Im considering spending about half a year in the Krabi region in 2006 and I have the following question:

I am going to rent a cabin/house for those 6 months there, and I need broadband internet because I work over the internet. Do you guys know what does it take, and how long it takes, to get internet connection installed in Krabi? are there any other posible solutions to get connected from home in case I cannot install a regular DSL line?

Thank you!

Hello everyone, first time poster here.

Here goes my case:

For a number of reasons, it's been a pretty stressful year for me and my girlfriend and we've decided that we deserve a little bit of slow down, so we are looking into moving to Thailand (a country we both loved as tourists) for about 6 months up to a full year in 2006. We liked very much the Krabi area, and there's where we'd like to stay during our months in Thailand.

My questions are as follow:

1) How much would a fairly large cabin cost per month in one of the main beaches in Krabi? I mean, we're going to live there for up to a year so we will need more space than the typical tourist cabin, such as a kitchen, full size bathroom, living room, etc. I hope it's not very expensive cause at the end of the day I am nothing but an IT-field employee back home.

2) I need broadband internet (I conduct my working activity over the internet). Do you think those cabins/houses for rent would come with internet connection? if not, how long would it take to install it? any other possible work-arounds as far as this is concerned?

Thank you in advance guys!

James.
