Help with setting up an internet chat studio in Thailand

[Old Fool]

Ok so I am asking TV for advice on how to set up an internet chat environment not because you are gurus (I can go to howard or Tom's for that). I just want to know what you do to chat- both in or to Thailand. My GF has a phone and nothing more. She lives in a Bangkok apartment. We chat but the signal is not great and it is sort of a chore the way we talk. I doubt there is any wifi or cable internet, etc. in her home. So I am going to buy her a new phone and am trying to find out how to chat with her so that she doesn't have to use the outdated crappy service with the camera on her hand. So I was thinking of buying her a phone and a bluetooth handfree setup that she can set on a desk so that we can chat.

Does this sound too futuristic?

Too futuristic? It sounds like not enough knowledge.

How ever, If you want your girlfriend and you to can chat and talk in phone without paying to much you have a great choise.

First you will have to see that your girlfriend have a fairly good Internet connection. No chat in the world is going to help you with that.

After that you just use Skype or Line in which you can both talk and send messages for free. How to set up that you will find clear instructions on respective pages.


As for the Internet connection as I understand is the problem, you might have to try different mobile operators for finding out wich one is best for her.
Another solution can be to ask her to check for wifi hotspot in the area where she lives. Sometimes there is good connection with that. Normal price for a connection of that kind is about 100 bath a month.

I hope that might help you om your way to have nice conversations with your girlfriend.

I am ahead of that part...

Trying to 1up the program brother. She has a phone but I don't think there is any other option because we chat at her home not at a hot spot location. I want to set up something that uses her phone as a hot spot or something better (bluetooth sound like it to me)...

Okey! Then it is going to have to do with what kind of phone you will buy. As for good phones regarding a buildt-in wifi hotspot function, my recommendation is the choise of Samsung J7. That one also have a fairly good price at around 8000 bath.

I am using a phone like that and the wifi hotspot function when we visit my girlfriends parents out in nowhere, and it works great with both AIS and True operators. In this case we are talking of the Isaan area. More specific Yasothon province in Baan Nong Mee.

If it is working there I suppose that it will do good in the outskirts of Bangkok too.
