KhunLA Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 When I'm O&A, if no or slow, I just 'hotspot' phone to laptop. Since I rarely use my phone for internet, start the month with 10gb + 10gb from previous month. Really hard for me to use 20gb when O&A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many/most hotels have be closed for more than 2 years here. And those that have operated were doing on a shoestring. Some are getting customers now but mostly at low domestic rates and plane loads of tourists will take time to return to anything like before. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Internet is not cheap if nobody needs it and you are going into debt. Most Thai now use phones for internet access (and viewing). That way they do not have to be cellar dwellers to be avid trollers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go broke by not providing customer services. They just lost 1 and will lose more. They are probably nearly broke anyway. Things have been very hard for hospitality in Thailand and a brief walk around some tourist areas show 100's of shuttered shops. At times during Covid there were 100's of people queieing for food. There has only really been government assistance for larger businesses. Why dont you get a sim. 200 baht unlimited for a month? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rankric Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Having your own dedicated access to the internet is a must anywhere now. Reliance on WIFI is a begpacker type request. Sorry to say but there's zero upside to sharing WIFI, security issues, lack of portability, shoddy connections. If i was a hotel i'd get rid of it too. Its over. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not talking home internet - this would be a hotel with repeaters and as stated very fast WiFi internet service - two years of no or few customers takes its toll. Keeping equipment working as well as cost to provider would be hard to justify with no users. Obviously they should be getting now if actually open for business but a lot are deep in the red at this point. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but hotel owners need to prioritize what services are critical to getting customers. It's called identiying 'Critical Success Factors' and ensuring they re getting enough attention. Nowadays very few customers will book a hotel which doesn't have internet. Reality. comparison could be the 'ice machine on level 3 is broken', that's not critical, and if necessary guests can order an ice bucket from room service. There's a workable easy alternative.

I have no idea of the cost of WiFi to cover even a small hotel but it will be a lot higher than for a single house. In addition the contract is usually for a year at a time. Just the cost of a single installation is expensive, though cheaper if you are Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its over. When you fly into a different country... i.e. UAE, Singapore, Malaysia etc... Do you always buy a local SIM to use for internet ???? I must admit, its something I do if I’m going to spend any amount of time there (i.e. a week etc).. but not a lot of people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that isn't cheap then I wonder what kind of life you lead. Mine is 630 a month. Neither of us has an internet connection as found in a hotel with multiple rooms and guests who must have the fastest internet. It will depend on the number of rooms served by the internet, the number of routers required and the number of guests. IF the hotel has been shut due to Covid the may still have to pay the yearly fee until renewal time. If they cancel and the supplier takes all his kit back, they will have to re-apply from new and that won't be cheap, even for Thais. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
