September 22, 200916 yr I am around sukhumvit/silom for a few days, looking for a nice away-from-home workspace. I usually work in Cafes, but here I can't seem to find anything. Shopping mall starbucks is OK of course but too expensive for WiFi - 150bht/hour is too much. True WiFi is everywhere here but last time I tried it really didn't work much. Has this improved now? What's a road warrior to do when stuck in BKK for a few days? Are there any nice student cafes? I don't mind paying for WiFi, but it has to be reasonable like 30 or 50 bht / hour....
September 22, 200916 yr Author Moved to Bangkok Forum for broader response Looks like that didn't work out so well. I put it in the Internet forum because only geeks know this kind of stuff but hey maybe there is nothing... Found a nice starbucks full of students but without cheap or free Internet.... maybe everyone has 3g in BKK...
September 22, 200916 yr Look here for all the free wifi you can handle. http://www.stickmanweekly.com/WiFi/Bangkok...nternetWiFi.htm

September 22, 200916 yr You could always use your cell phone as a modem for your notebook. GPRS/EDGE rates are very low, and you can use it anywhere you get cell phone reception. My company (DTAC) does 50 hours per month for 200 baht or unlimited for 1000.

If a "geek" wants to reply and clicks on the link he will remain in your topic. So everybody in the "Internet forum" can reply too. That was may idea... and trust it has worked
September 22, 200916 yr Free WiFi in BKK, green wifi, just join up here..... http://www.truewifi.net/en/promotion/green_bangkok.htm I'm on it now, ok for free Oz

September 23, 200916 yr Ban Rai Cafe at Ekamai intersection is full of students. My friend told me it was open 24/7, I haven't used the wifi so would need to check. I presume its free as so many students there. Lots of seating, and unless I'm mistaken, what looked like a classroom with whiteboard. I guess they know who their market are.
