JanKlaasen Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Wasn't there a free wifi service a few years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saengsureeya Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Wasn't there a free wifi service a few years ago? A few years ago they set up a kind of hotspot system but was not free. AFAIK it is still up and running in the area enclosed by Beach Road, 2nd Road and, South Pattaya Road and North Pattaya Road. 5 hours per 3 months.....means a whopping 3.33 minutes per day or maybe 10 minutes per day if you stay 30 days. It's just another gesture of whatever. Anyway, City Hall can state now that they offer free wifi in the city. Internet cafe's, hotels and other places offering paid-internet don't have to be afraid of any competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Residents and tourists can use the free WiFi for 5 hours per 3 months, by registering through the page of WiFi True Move H in Pattaya. They will receive a password on the page, and would register again every three months. True Corporation is confident that the service would facilitate visitors and the people in Pattaya, to fulfill the image of Pattaya as an IT city to compete with other world class tourism cities. yes.. the image of an IT city.. for 5 hours every 3 months anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
