Popular Post simon43 Posted February 27 Popular Post Share Posted February 27 Check for mobile phone signals on all Thai networks. If you find a strong signal then buy a mobile internet package for that network (I live in Laos and only use mobile internet on a daily basis to teach). 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best speeds but will be okay for the short time you are there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not have a phone at all? don't get confused with the term 'Smart Phone' many cheap phones have hotspot capabilities. You could just buy a cheap second hand phone.

natway09 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Suggest invest in a cheap 2nd hand phone, sim, & internet connection with hotspot, Any phone shop will gladly show you how to use it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) If no internet available in the area, then good chance phone signal isn't so great either, so phone hotspot might not help. Check AIS & Dtac site for their service areas, and see what's available. Wife has AIS, and myself, Dtac, just for that reason, as we go out & about to some very rural areas. One usually works, and Dtac seems to be more consistently working when AIS is weak or non-existent. Edited February 29 by KhunLA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
