Need Apartment In Ratchayothin With Hi-speed Internet

[bkkajarn]

I'm looking for an apartment in Ratchayothin with high speed internet. (Ratchayothin is the neighborhood in Bangkok that is near the intersection Ratchada and Phahon Yothin.) I want an apartment that will let me buy internet thru an internet provider, such as True. It's my experience that wireless internet in Bangkok is always slow. I can't say anything good about the wireless internet that I've had in Bangkok. It either doesn't work or it's very slow.

It'd be great if it was near Major Cinema.

Thank you.

being wireless does not really make your internet slower unless it is an unsecured connection shared amongst loads of people... it's just that internet in thailand is slow, period. there are very few places it seems that offer a direct (LAN) connection these days.

try the Suphalai near Major Rachayothin. i think it's the closest one to the intersection. and there is a nice-looking apartment in Phaholyothin soi 37, cant remember the name. Also can try the Sawadee Place can't remember the soi just a few sois after 37, might be soi 33.

my apt. offers the 390B/month LAN internet. it works well, not slow yet not super hi-speed.

Sawasdee Place is on Soi 41, and they do have hi speed internet. Another option would be Sarin PLace which, is Soi 35 I think, it is just past Major but on the Ratchadapisek side. Further down the road you have Supalai complex, which is a nice enough place, with good sports facilties. In the end it will depend on Budget: Sawasdee ranges from around 6,000 - 20,000. Sarin is from around 13,000 up, and the same as Supalai. There is Young Place on Soi 37 (Attamit) as well, althoguh not sure about the internet there.

There are three on Soi 37

Young Place is the biggest, just before Attamit School, but it is a little older. There is a new condo being built beind Tops, but it has been delayed as they built an extra level on one of the towers, and have been ordered to take it down, can't remeber the name of the development at the moment. There is also Nantasiri Serviced Apartments further into the Soi past the school.
