Internet options in Bkk for 3 Months

[madisongy 117]

We are going to be in Bkk from Feb thru April.   When my wife lived there in the past, we had AIS for a long time in our condo, and still have the AIS Fibre modem.   But looks like I'd have to make a 12 month commitment and the cheapest plan is 600b/month.   

Does anyone know if that's correct, and if so, would True or DTAC or any other company would provide home internet for only 3 months?    Any offerings on unlimited SIM cards fast enough to stream video on the TV at home?

Truemove H and DTAC have mobile Internet packages that supply up to 30 Mbps via SIM card, as do NT Wireless. 
Cost with DTAC or Truemove H is 235 baht per month. Cost with NT Wireless is 399 baht for the three month duration. 
Of course you will have to actually test the speeds available at your condo to know which will work best. Probably using your mobile phone and a base 50 baht SIM from each network. Whichever gives you the best speed and performance is the one to which you subscribe. 
A portable Cat. 6 modem that works with SIM will set you back around 1000 baht, if you don’t want to ruin your mobile phone battery using it as a Hotspot to supply Internet to your other devices.

Great point about testing speeds....we're in a high rise and connection gets a bit wonky.   And yeah, I'd do the portable modem since we're going to be back doing short stints like this again.

So looked at one of your recommendations...DTAC...., and if this is right, it would cost me about 35 baht per day for 8Mbps unlimited.   If the speed test works out, that would be absolutely perfect for us.   Really appreciate your response.

Hey NextG, big thanks for the info.   I didn't even realize that I could buy SIM cards on shopee.   I have used Lazada in the past when I was in Thailand, but I'll sign up for Shopee and get these ordered for testing.

I got to say, your messages here are really encouraging.   I'm really hopeful one of these places can provide a solution for us.  

Many thanks again !!

Not all of the offers will be available by the time you need them. AIS has already changed their offerings, so the advertised offers may not be available unless pre-activated. Best to ask the vendor before ordering. 
Some of the offers shown are for simply purchasing a base SIM card along with a code you have to apply after topping up the required amount. But the code may be out of use by the time you need to use it. 
Best is to just test with normal SIM and when you know which gives you the best signal and speed, apply a suitable code. Don’t look for them in the official websites, just run your tests and when you know which network is best, ask here for a suitable 15Mbps to 30Mbps code or try entering one you find on Lazada/Shopee. 
You can also obtain a three month pack, such as this one; https://www.lazada.co.th/products/dtac-10mbps-60-3-i1778552388-s5189212188.html

Can also be obtained directly from DTAC. Obviously limited compared to their 20Mbps and 30Mbps offerings. But useless if you can only pull down 2Mbps at your condo. So test before committing to a longer term pack. 
A bewildering array of options. So narrow them down by testing which can supply the highest speed at your location and then we here can point you towards the best available at that time. Usually just a matter of applying a code to your newly tested SIM. Has to be done within seven days of activating the SIM.
