brucegoniners Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hi all! Me again with more Jomtien questions. I know this question can end up down a number of rabbit holes, so to be very clear, since I will be in Jomtien on the beach side, I'm asking those in that area to share which mobile carrier they prefer. Although True Move is phenomenal everywhere else in Thailand (including in Pattaya), I've found it to be very spotty in Jomtien and East Pattaya when we've been in town to buy this house. Data is slow and calls are hard to hear on. I've had True forever, but that was in Bangkok. And like I said, no issues elsewhere either, until now. Can anyone in those areas recommend a mobile carrier that really kicks arse? If nobody is any better then I'll remain with True. But I hope I can improve my situation. Thanks again in advance for your help guys! Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamJar Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Since it costs just 49 baht plus a 9 or 19 baht package to test another network.... AIS gives the most data for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lannig Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Agreed, AIS gives the best service overall in my experience (small place upcountry, not in Pattaya) DTAC is OK for calls but data tends to be sluggish at times. True is bad and unreliable. Again, just my own experience in a small place. Someone else's mileage will vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmugghc Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I used to live at the northern end. No problem with DTAC 4G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegman Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 AIS gave me no problems over 3 years in Jomtien. Their outlets at Central Fest and TukCom are easy to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamJar Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 In fact, both DTAC and True have SIMs for 19 baht, if you avoid sill Tourist SIMS. So even cheaper to run a test. But if you are a heavy user of data, AIS is best for that, network permitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou62 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) I've had AIS for years. No problem at all. I can't speak for any other company, as I've never needed to use them. Edit. I'm in Jomtien. Edited February 9, 2017 by lou62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
