Bangkok Hotels With Free Internet. ?

[pumper]

I posted this last week in the internet forum & got no hotels wit frre wifi responses.

what Bangkok hotels offer FREE wi-fi?

a thread in the Phuket forum has a bunch of listing on Phuket for free wi-fi

Phuket thread: Hotels/bars With Wi-fi

so many of us are carrying laptops (mine is used mostly to empty my camera!)

BUT: If my hotel offered FREE wifi i'd probably use my laptop more.

I usually stay at Grand President & they have ethernet but IMHO charge tu mutt ..

what coffee shops? http://www.wi-fihotspotlist.com/browse/intl/2000038/p1.html

I'll begin the Bangkok hotel free wi-fi list with:

& gleaned from the phuket (Hotels/bars With Wi-fi) thread:

Coffee shop (and ground floor) of the Landmark Hotel has free wifi.

On the budget side, Om Yim right beside Chong Nonsi BTS station has free wifi throughout,

Bangkok City Suite on Petchburi Road offers free wifi.

Thanks.

Om Yim & Bangkok Suites are cheaper room, meals & wifi than some sukhumvit hotels are for wifi alone!

i searched this am for free wifi hotels in Thailand.. came up mosty empty

stickman has some 'i think free wifi' listings .. none of which list free wifi on their websites.

weird so many hotels on phuket offer wifi & so few in bangers .. or anywhere else in thailand for that matter

this being a computer based group of english speakers .. with I assume a large % of retirees / tourists with hotel / serviced apartment internet / wifi needs it seemed this topic would be of interest to all. NOT!

Unico Grande Silom (formerly called Tower Inn) has free wifi in their lobby.

>Unico Grande Silom (formerly called Tower Inn) has free wifi in their lobby.<

went to their web site & it was not 'advertised' .. apparently several hotels offer free wifi but do not list on their web site.

I did find their web sitre to be refreshingly honest about Bkk traffic

From their silom location:

Nearby Attractions within 15 minutes by car

Maboonkrong Department Store

Nearby Attractions within 1 hour by car

The Grand Palace

lord, do i hate bangkok traffic

what's the worst job on the planet? .. Bkk taxi, perhaps below a male sex slave in cambodia!

I wish the Unico Grande Silom had advertised its free lobby wifi TO ITS GUESTS when I stayed there in January.

I didn't know about that and ended up searching for a connection in the area. Found a café with free wifi nearby in the area between Silom and Surawong (maybe on Th Decho?), then the pub on Soi Convent mentioned by Stickman, then the Om Yim.

bourbon st in washington square got free wifi.

Other than the free internet, I found the place to be overpriced. The Nana Hotel is not only cheaper, but a better deal all around.

I recently stayed at Bangkok City Suites which someone above me mentioned. It was very good for a budget hotel, clean, new, has all the basics except not much TV in English (I was recovering from Lasik surgery and couldn't do much so good TV would have helped me). Wifi for free in your room, plus 30 minutes a day free from the lobby computers.

They don't pay commissons and offer good value for the money. (By basics I mean, refrig, bathtub, phone, good furnishings, room service, breakfast included, etc.)
