Hey people,

I hope I'm posting in the right area.

I'm thinking of renting an apartment/house somewhere in Thailand for a couple of months or so and use it as a base while I travel around. For money I hope to do some freelance translation over the internet. I'd rather not stay in Bangkok (too big) and would prefer a smaller city but for my plan to work the internet connection is absolutely vital.

Can anyone tell me what cities/towns in Thailand now have affordable/reliable/easy to set up broadband services?

Any other related tips gratefully received!

Cheers

I would venture to say that almost all Thai cities of any reasonable size now have affordable Internet service

you would only really have trouble " out in the sticks "

However you should be aware that the reliability and international speed can be quite bad.

Easy setup ? well not so easy but not impossible..might take 2-3 weeks.

If you must have internet at all times then have a backup connection ( maybe a dial up )

or CDMA or EDGE ( wireless ) but coverage on those are quite limited.

for "a couple of months" you would likely just find a place that already had ADSL.

it took me a month to get ADSL in Kmala ... they were out of routers.

Have a look at mttbkk.com It's next door to the software park, tot, ksc etc.

Yeah...this should have been a start
