[Confuscious]

Does anybody here uses Starlink?
Is Starlink available in Thailand?
Any information on using Starlink in Thailand?

Sure, and why pay 1400 baht when you can buy them for 348 baht?

This spring talked to the guy with Starlink dish on the beach (koh Phi Phi) 

He told me that connection is amazing and very stable 

He need instant access to the Internet due to his occupation - I think he was some hardcore trader.

WiFi at resort was unacceptable even for WhatsApp

I’d use it if I could.  It looks as though you can be up and running in a few minutes.

Starlink is illegal in Thailand.  Only earlier this month the authorities seized 58 sets of Starlink equipment.   Basically, using any foreign satellite is prohibited.

Reads more like the equipment was sized due to intend use.

 

But yeah looking at the Starlink Map... Thailand is still pendng regulatory approval.

Yes, but it's the Bangkok Post, 19th June.  The title is "Fraud raid seizes 58 satellite devices".

OK, I'll find it thanks.

 

By the way Bangkok Post is now a permitted source 🙂
