I am fitting out a new building to be a guesthouse and as part of this fitout I will need the installation of the necessary Data cabling to connect up the WiFi access points on each floor so I am looking for people who may have done this before or someone who you would recommend to do the installation of it all

Have you tried Wattana across from Foodland on Central Pattaya road? Might be worth a try. Or Pattaya2You in Tukcom?

I had an electrician run the wires for my house, then had a local computer guy come over and put the ends on and get it setup. Worked great until I changed computers and now I have to get it setup again! 55555

Thanks Craig I will have a look at them

The cable (minimum Cat5e or ideally Cat6) you can get in large (25m, 50m, 100m and 250m) rolls from electrical wholesalers. Anyone can run it.

Then either you need someone competent with the right tool to do this:

or anyone incompetent can do it like this:

I know Liberty Computers on third road install wi-fi an LAN systems ... they deal more with commercial rather than domestic clients so may be worth a try?

or anyone incompetent can do it like this:

That's after importing such connectors. Haven't seen them in Thailand, you?

The quality of the standard connectors here is the usual crap but they do work. Just need some duct tape to keep them in after the locking tabs break after a few removals/insertions , or try a repair like this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Repair-a-Broken-Ethernet-Plug/

Never looked, but I'm sure someone must have them. I certainly have seen wall RJ45 sockets (in some fancy hotel walls). Otherwise a few USD on Ebay should get them delivered fast in a Jiffy bag from Hong Kong.

Best way would be to get your ISP to install it.

The main electric material suppliers stock the wall sockets, from different brands.

Clipsal has good ones.

Numchai (electrics) and Pornchai electrics both in Naklua have them.

I should point out that for cables that are hidden in ducts, false ceilings etc, the actual wall plates arent needed at all. Just the quick-fit terminators (the blue things in the video). These should be a lot cheaper than the whole fancy wall socket. Then from the quick-fit socket a regular short ethernet cable (very low cost) can be used to connect to the router/access point or whatever.
