Sarge Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I'm taking a spare laptop computer to my fiancee's house in mahasarakham and would like to set up a broadband internet connection. The idea is to leave it there so we can skype each other when I'm back home. How do I go about in finding an internet providers there? Is there a telecom shop where one can purchase a broadband plan and a modem, take it home register online, as I would normally do back in farangland? or things are done differently over there, any advice and info is greatly appreciated.

george Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Do you have a phone line? How long way are you from the nearest phone exchange? You might be able to get ADSL. If not, another option is IPstar from TOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 yes there is a phone line, no problem there. Not sure how far is from the exchange though. She once had a dial-up connection there but the account has long expired and her computer is too ancient to cope with today demands. So, I'm starting from scratch and want to set up a modern ADSL connection with a new-ish computer. My question is there a telecom branch there (like True or whatever) where one can walk in, purchase a plan and a modem. Take it back home, plug it in and register online?

There's a TT&T office between the "samyaek" and "hayaek" (three-way intersection and five-way intersection, respectively) downtown that basically fits that description except it may take a while (days or weeks) for them to hook you up. If you happen to live in the Akkrachat-Thanee neighborhood near MSU, there's a neighborhood kid who can hook you up with a 512/256k DSL line through a company called TPR3 for a lot cheaper, though.
