Hello Everyone

I am planning to Visit Bangkok next month.

I am looking for some info regarding the Internet Access in Bangkok.

1. Is There any 3G Service Provider in Bangkok, if Yes then what are the charges of using 3G Services, i just want to use my phone as a modem to surf internet.

2. Which Service providers are providing the GPRS/EDGE service to access internet Through Mobile as Modem and what are the rates.

Actually the information provied on Service providers website site is in thai language so i am not able to understand fully

Pls reply back if anyone has info related to that.

Go to the Google Translate page and insert the website url to get it in English.

DTAC and AIS have GPRS/EDGE service nearly every corner of Thailand

Buy a fill up card at any 7/11

50 baht gets you 5 hours of time.

If you call 1678, the DTAC call center, they can transfer

baht credit for voice to your GPRS/EDGE account immediately.

Then you can get 20 hours for 99 baht.

Very very inexpensive.

Beware there are expiry dates of usually 30 days or so for this.

The fillup card credits last for a year though.

Don't think 3G is here yet. Or if it is, I recall hearing it is

not at full bandwidth.

But others may know more about it as replies come in here.
