mglaser Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mglaser Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BudRight Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Use Spotify through your VPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffdog Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) 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.

DaveBKK Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinBoy2 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyBB Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 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.
