Bangkok and Pattaya score highly in Hotel Wi-Fi Test

Bangkok and Pattaya have been ranked among the top 50 cities in the world for the standard of Wi-Fi offered to hotel guests, according to a new report on global Wi-Fi quality.
The report, entitled Hotel Wi-Fi Test, measured the availability and quality of in room Wi-Fi in hotels around the world.
The Hotel Wi-Fi Test placed Bangkok in 22nd place, and Pattaya in 45th place, with Thailand ranked 26th overall.
The report bases its rankings on two factors: the number of hotels which offer adequate Wi-Fi speeds of at least 3 Mbps for downloads and 500 Kbps for uploads, as well as the ratio of hotels in the the respective cities which offers guests free in room Wi-Fi.

I think Agoda/Hotels.com/TripAdvisor, etc., has a lot to do with this.

I think most people nowadays favour hotels who provide free in-room wifi, and Tripadvisor is a good way to find out how fast it is.

It's made a lot of places up their game.

It's just an advertising site. Placing Bangkok in 22nd place by testing just 124 hotels out of a possible 3,500 is hardly representative.

They've probably negotiated a commission on every booking made via their site. That's why the Expedia and Hotel.com buttons are visible in every 'tested' hotel.

And the site is tech.thaivisa.com smile.png

A further version of the report places Admiral Suites at the toprolleyes.gif yet Trip Advisor reports the wifi only works in the corridors, this despite the fact that the hotel relentlessly spams Trip Advisor with fake reviews.

I've found WiFi (paid and unpaid) pitiful wherever I've stayed in Thailand... cheap digs to four-star gaffs. It should be a prerequisite in this day and age that a hotelier provide adequate wireless connectivity, and free at that regards chain hotels!
