Wifi On The Beach In Phuket?

Featured Replies

Any place on the island to get a decent free (or dirt cheap) wifi connection right on the beach? Someplace to hang out and watch the sunset while wor-...errrr surfing the net? I know of the dozens of places to get free wifi near the beach, but thinking there must be a resort or restaurant somewhere that fits the bill, but haven't found one yet.

Alternatively, maybe a hill top place with a nice view?

Sometimes I spend so much time staring into my computer I'm forget that I'm living in a beautiful tropical paradise!

You can get a good signal opposite the Truemove shop on the beach road in Patong. I've used that one myself sitting on the beach. Opposite Starbucks beachroad, a signal might go as far as the beach but never tried it. Bad news, nothing is free, you either have to be a member of KSC, Truewifi, or pay a fee. The days of highjacked signals are sadly coming to an end.

Thanks - but just to clarify - I'm happy to buy a couple cups of coffee or a beer in order to plug in. No need to hijack.

I would say its exactly the opposite.. WEP keys which are still the usual protection are about as hard as butter these days..

You could also get a CAT card account and have almost island wide mobile connection.. Or hook up the phone over EDGE and bluetooth..
