Online Streaming Radio

[mglaser]

We will be moving to Pattaya very soon and I am very accustomed to listening to Sirius XM Radio, Pandora, and Spotify here in the states. What options to I have to hear western radio in Thailand?

[augustwest]

I use Apple play. $10 a month and works fine

[mglaser]

Thanks Augustwest... I was wondering what sites I could access once there. I do a lot of viewing online radio blogs like Pitchfork.com, Myoldkentuckyblog, etc....

Tune In app.

Thousands of stations.

[BudRight]

Use Spotify through your VPN.

[sniffdog]

If you get Spotify Premium you only have to use a VPN during signup as you can use it abroad without problems. Make sure though that you get a Google Play or ITunes account in the us to download an app. And make sure you have a payment option in the US.

Other options in Thailand are Apple Music (185 baht) or Deezer (similar price). Apple gives you a three month trial for free.

Tune In is free and hundreds of channels to listen to

Apple, Deezer, Tidal are all around 150 - 170 Baht a month.

Tunein

tunein and rockradio are my go to music apps.

[DaveBKK]

Tunein is ok. Really mixed bag as far as quality. Some statIons stream at 96k, some 128 and some 192. Really hard to find stations streaming over 192.... Most at 128 which doesn't sound that great.

I prefer the paid services (like Apple Music) at 256k streaming. You can also get Pandora with no problem with a VPN or proxy. I recommend EVERY expat to have a VPN service in this environment.

[lemonjelly]

Yep, another vote for Tunein Radio.

[Bredbury Blue]

For Brits, get_iplayer for ripping bbc radio stations in to mp3s.

[Chicog]

Xiialive app for music.

Player FM app for Podcasts.

[KC 71]

Accuradio is good too

No buffering and hardly any adverts

[GinBoy2]

I'm ditto'ing TuneIn.

Hundreds of US FM stations and thousands of Internet only.

I'm an NPR kinda guy, all my favorites are there; KQED, KPBS, WHYY, WBUR and many many more.

The TuneIn android app has a pretty neat Car Mode which makes listening in the car just the same as listening in your car at home.

Very good new app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tapptic.radionomy

I've also had good luck with TuneIn app. But it should be noted that even on TuneIn, there are certain US stations that will not stream unless you are using VPN. Suggest you get a VPN account with PrivateInternetAccess or one of the other popular VPN providers. Another word of advice: Make sure you keep at least 1 US credit card! There may be things you want like US iTunes store access that require a US card. With VPN and US credit card, you'll never be locked out of anything.

Tunein pro allows you to record(save) to your device either your phone or PC to listen to when you have no internet access

I record a number of my favourite radio programs so I can enjoy them when flying back to the uk for example

[pieeyed]

I always found www.surfmusic.de very good. Can get stations worldwide.
