Internet access in bangkok Hotel

[AndyShin]

Hi,

would like to check how is the internet at bangkok?

would be going for around 5 days trip, but would need to use teamviewer to remote access back PC in Singapore for work , isit ok

Most of the hotels I stayed in before (Glow, Berkeley, baiyoke etc) has free Wi-Fi connectivity and most of the cafes/massage places has free WI-FI as well. So i guess internet connectivity shouldn't be too much of a problem in BKK

i'm doing it right now. usinga DTAC 1 month prepaid card. but it gives me 6GB boosted internet speed. once up it goes to 300+KBS which i need to pay 150baht to boost it for 1GB so i could watch my youtube show.

 

[AndyShin]

i planing to go Samut Prakan after thinking, which are the recommended hotel with strong internet

Think some hotel wifi are stronger, some are weaker. For example my mode sathorn hotel have router inside the room, so wifi is excellent But sometimes at toilet, reception is low lol ...
