Once you have connected to the Internet via DTAC, there will be no need to remove the SIM in order to top up, check balances and apply packages.
Note that you do need to be able to receive and view the SMS with 4-digit code to get into the web-based myDTAC eService platform. Some fully-integrated mobile data devices (USB, pocket WiFi) do offer the ability to send/receive/read/compose SMSes, and to originate USSD commands. However, if you don't have that sort of UI you'll need a phone to receive the SMS. If you can figure out out how to use your phone as an WiFi AP (hotspot) you can use the service providers Android app to manage the account.
No.....you do not. Using my links will result in an automatic sign in, as long as you are connecting using the DTAC signal. Try it.

There are a few restaurants close to Tukcom on that claim to be French. La Petite Planete Restaurant, Bordeaux, La Cuisine au Beurre and perhaps another whoe name escapes me. Some inexpensive. I'm not French, so make no claims. We ate at La Petite Planete Restaurant. It was not at all unpleasant. Would eat there again.

That can all be done by visiting these pages whilst connected to the Internet via DTAC;
https://my.dtac.co.th/esv/en/myRefill to top up.
https://my.dtac.co.th/esv/en/remainingBalance Check balances of packages and phone credit.http://www.dtac.co.th/en/prepaid/products/4g-non-stop.html Apply packages
It has to be said that DTAC data offerings are quite poor in relation to AIS.

Thanks, I found that listed for phones, the pocket wifi has more settings to fill in...
PAP is correct. You are all set....

Perhaps you can describe the issue, together with the brand name and model number of your computer.

From memory, TRUE give 20 baht of call credit and 90 MB of data with their Tourist SIM
DTAC ; 15 baht of call credit and a day's use of chat applications; Whatsapp, Wechat, Line, FB Messenger, Kakao Talk with their 49 baht Tourist SIM.
AIS Traveller SIM 49 baht; 20 baht of call credit and 90 MB of data.
By contrast AIS offer 15 baht of call credit and 1GB of data over 3 days from their 50 baht SUPER PLAY SIM.
So the tourist SIMs in their 49 baht form are fine. But the packaged SIMs for 299 baht and upwards are inflexible and overpriced and that includes the suggested add ons.
-
49 baht SIM are available at the airport providers. You just have to be firm as to your request.
If you purchase the aforementioned, they may try to tell you that the SIM has no credit/allowance and try to push you into purchasing a top up of 300 baht or more....this will be misdirection.
In addition to this, some providers, such as TRUE, will suggest on their blurb, add ons for their Tourist SIMs. These offer poor value in relation to what is generally available.
All of the 49bt/50bt SIM offer an initial allowance. So you'll be able to make calls and use the Internet of Chat applications without adding further credit. Don't let them fool you.
If you want to purchase credit and they refuse to sell you less than 300 baht's worth(don't know as I never purchased credit from them), there are Family Mart at the airport. You can purchase amounts from 50 baht.
Then you can apply the package that suits your usage, as opposed to what increases their profit.

I guess that the only customers that they can find are from the middle east or Africa ?
Your guess is wrong.
You should remember that many do things in Pattaya that they wouldn't necessarily do in their home town.
If you are paying for your company, chances are that you are no great catch yourself.
As to those who prefer little brown girls with next to no womanly curves, some will have their own opinion on that.
So I don't get the great outrage from the peeps that are likely forking out to spend time with under-educated little brown girls.
Live and let live eh?

Have no idea why so many are stating that he was on soi 6. That McDonalds is on the beach road, in between Soi 5 and Soi 6.
-
In fact, both DTAC and True have SIMs for 19 baht, if you avoid sill Tourist SIMS.
So even cheaper to run a test. But if you are a heavy user of data, AIS is best for that, network permitting. -
Since it costs just 49 baht plus a 9 or 19 baht package to test another network....
AIS gives the most data for the money. -
Perhaps you should visit Ambassador City. They are all there. Weird place. :)
Reminds me of http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475784/ -
The Thai way of increasing prices when there is low demand should work. :)
Yesterday in Pattaya I enquired about the price of an egg and banana roti from a street stall. I was quoted a price of 120 baht! I double checked and it was confirmed that the price was 120 baht.
Decided to walk the extra few hundred metres to the place that I usually patronise.
Enquired of the price. That had leapt from 40 baht to 50 baht.
I asked why 50 baht, as I am sure that the price of the ingredients have not increased. A large egg 5 baht, a large banana 10 baht at the most. In fact they sold a banana to a local flower seller for just that as I stood there.
They said because everyone else had increased to 50 baht.
I said no...40 baht and they agreed.
Hardly any customers these days, so they increase the price, effectively annoying the customers they have left.

So it was the victim's fault for not doing the job himself? Do you service your own vehicle? Do you service your air-cons yourself? If not and you get screwed by the contractor, is it your own fault?
Perhaps you missed the part where I wrote S I M P L E.
If servicing the aircon means opening a flap, removing a filter, washing it and then replacing it, then yes, I would service my own aircon unit.
I certainly wouldn't allow the technician to take it away for months to replace the filter. So yes, he made himself a victim for not doing even the slightest research on what needed to be done.
Remember, that the machine wasn't faulty, so nothing to diagnose.
Those are business machines and as such are designed for very fast servicing.
I could literally do that job in ten minutes whilst he stood there and that would include fitting the old HDD into a suitable caddy.
So yes...caveat emptor.
-
On the other hand, I have receive nothing but excellent service from the ACER service centre in Chonburi. Given that I supply them with my own parts, but all the work done while you wait and perfectly executed. 321 baht earlier jobs. 428 baht later jobs.
Entirely reasonable, considering you literally had to take the machine apart to fit the parts. -
What did Usaman have to do with any of it?? Something left out of the story it seems.
-
The problem with your story is that the X230 is completely modular and you could have done the job yourself in less than fifteen minutes. Literally.
Swapping the HDD with an SSD; five to ten minutes. RAM; five minutes.
That's it. Then a clean install of the OS and restoring any data from your old HDD.
So why would you give it to a 'computer store owner' for months?
Perhaps you should learn to do these simple...and I mean simple, jobs for yourself. -
I just swap the HDD with SSD and install the OS cleanly to SSD, leaving all my files intact on the HDD. Place the HDD into a caddy costing 200 baht and you have yourself with an external USB hard drive with all of your data and a much faster machine, due to having cleanly installed the OS to a solid state drive.

Back to the question at hand.
A throwaway laptop does not need to have ac WiFi capability. I seem to be doing ok here with a nearly nine year old Netbook. An 802.11n USB adapter if necessary, costs perhaps 200 to 300 baht.
Cost me even less: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LB-LINK-Mini-150Mbps-USB-Wireless-Wifi-Dongle-Adapter-802-11-B-G-N-LAN-Network-/221759559640
I have no idea how we without 802.11ac adapters have managed to cope....
The battery is the main consideration here, if the OP won't have access to a power point whilst outside.
As to crazy suggestions of paying 12000 baht for an eleven year old DELL laptop.....words fail me.
finy...what brand and model number the 17" laptop?
Will have a very poor battery life, as an older 17" machine. -
Chicog, you keep banging on about Chromebooks, but haven't answered the OP's question of how much?
He has asked more than once and it is also the main question in the title subject.
....and yes we are talking about what I would do. Since the OP wants suggestions from people with experience.
So...how much are you suggesting that he spends on a 'throwaway' Chromebook and from whence can he obtain it?

According to a taxi driving acquaintance; First fine is low, perhaps up to 5000. Second is higher and perhaps the taking away of vehicle and third, jail time.
