TomMc Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I'm visiting Jomtien this coming summer June - August, & I will have to work remotely back into Europe during the week. Are there any Co-Working or Office Centres with strong internet near Jomtien? I need a place open from 3pm - 11pm to match European work hours. I used Anchor Co-Working in 2019 but I hear it has closed down (pity as was a great place). I'll rent a short-term condo in Jomtien, wondering if internet is weak in a condo building, would i be able to get my own strong internet put in for the 10 weeks I will be there? I make a lot of VOIP & video call so need strong internet. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soi3eddie Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I work remotely in Thailand for my UK businesses. Strong internet is essential. I have never used co-working places but have tried to use coffee shops. In my experience the best option (other than my own condo with fibre optic internet) is to ensure that I have a 4G mobile phone package. WiFi in hotels and rented condos is often attrocious and unusable. Not just slow speeds but frequent disconnections too. If you need to make voice calls/meetings then factor in background noise and privacy. I find that a hotel room is often best for this. After work, close the laptop and go out and party knowing that you don't have to awake until after mid-day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomMc Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Yes last time I spent the summer in Pattaya 2019, I bought a Thai mobile 4G card & I was very impressed with the internet speed, often up to 30MB depending on where I was. Plus it was great value too. This allowed me to use VOIP & Skype Out well. I might be lucky and find a condo with its own private internet, like True the comes via the TV. That would really help. The nature of my work, I often have up to 20 tabs open in the internet browser & the VOIP going, so I certainly need strong steady internet. Yes the coffee shops are an option, though I find I get distracted easily or if there's a lot of noise around it's hard to focus. I'll email the Bali High office place, though looks like it only operates 9 - 5pm whilst I need 3 - 11pm most week days. I'd guess a lot of those co-working places on the list have gone out of business over the last year. I'm coming in June, so maybe a few options will appear for me before then.
