Big Daddy Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Would be nice to have free wifi, but it would probably be low speed and likely unreliable yes? Anyone have good experience with low grade internet in Thailand? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qent Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) You mean this hasn't already been in place for the past three years??? What happened to the 30 Billion Baht that Yingluck spent?!?!? Thailand wires up with free Wi-Fi The Thai government announced it will be offering free public Wi-Fi in the Greater Bangkok area starting on Wednesday, and the roll out is part of its 30 billion baht (US$957 million) ICT master plan called Smart Thailand.

worgeordie Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Don t expect them to increase the bandwidth out of the country,so expect Free WiFi will make Internet in our homes even slower. regards Worgeordie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Snig27 Posted December 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2014 Dunno about anyone else but I get very fast 4G all over BKK - much faster than I get in the US, NZ and Oz. As to free hotspots, the True hotspots are pretty good mostly I find. BKK is far better served for this sort of infrastructure already than many so called western cities. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveAustin Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Nothing is free in Thai('free')land , but good idea all the same. Perhaps they could extend it to hotels and stop them charging silly money for what should be complimentary when you're paying 3-4k a night!

mikemac Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I would like to know why some of the hotels I stay at in Thailand have such fast internet connections. How do they do it ? And it comes free with the room. One Hotel we stay at in Phetchabhun is unbelievable, you can download a 700 mb movie in minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
