As Uncle Mhee asks, do you have mobile data service, AIS, True, DTAC etc. If so you could connect via Mobile Data or WiFi if the provider has this.

I live 'in the jungle' 35 km from the city, and 3BB have fitted a fibre cable direct to my router. 1Gb/s for Bht 749 a month.

Thank you very much for your reply,

I use True with my phone. But I can change to 3BB if they can provide Internet.

Hello,

I am thinking of renting a house near Chiangrai, near Rimkok river, in the countryside. Very quiet and beautiful scenery. BUT the house has no Internet and looks far from the main road. I don't know much about technology, I must confess.

Is there a way to get Internet without being connected to any cables?

Is that your case?

How does it work?

Do I have to buy equipment? Which companies would you recommend if there is a way to get Internet?

I mostly need Internet to connect with my family abroad and watch Netflix or TV5 world. I don't play games or download movies.

Is a house near CR without internet coonection a BIG NO WAY?

Thanks for your helop

Just retired.

I have had dealings with a few agents in Chiang Rai. The one I found most helpful was a lady called May who works for I Home. Her phone number is < Phone number removed, please use PM function to contact >.

Thanks a lot.

When I first arrived in Chiang Rai I contacted several Real Estate agents looking for a 10k rental. Apparently non were available anywhere within the province!  My guess is the amount was too low for them to even look at managing.

 

Interestingly enough, after deciding that Chiang Khong (Chiang Rai / Huay Xai Laos border town) suited me a bit better and making a few Thai friends there they helped me find several 'empty house' rentals for 4k-5k price range that worked out just fine, while I looked for more permanent housing.  

 

(I say "whole house" because the Thai friends also showed me row-house and abandoned hotel accommodations that made me question the friendship).

Thanks a lot. I'll visit Chiang Kong too then...

Better to stay in a short term rental room...while you personally checkout the available "by-owner" Chiang Rai rental signs placed on available rentals property gates and fences.

 

Real estate agents are infamous for posting non-existent rental property to get you in their office...it is called "bait & switch).

 

Good Luck.

Thanks a lot for your advice I will follow

Thanks a lot ????

I am planning to move from Central Thailand to Chiang Rai area. Has anyone living there a reliable estate agent to recommend who can speak English. I am not planning to buy a house but long term rent between 10,000 to 20,000 THB/mth. Does it seem a realistic figure for a detached house, 2 bedrooms and a good size garden? It doesn't have to be in CR, it can be outside but at a reasonable distance from supermarket (+/- 10 km).

Thanks for your recommendation
