Internet cafe would be much much cheaper if you thinking of surfing for an hr or 2....plenty of such cafe near where you are staying...if you are thinking of doing so reseach on the net to cheong...maybe dun need to cos u are walking distance to many of the whore houses...best time would be before evening to get the best and fresh stocks...

addtional infor....where u are stay...walk out to the main rd and you would found a nice seafood place across the rd to eat out...just beside a overhead bridge...cheaper den the rest of the places along that main road...

hope u find it useful...

This list is not bad although theres not much near your hotel.

I sometimes use the free signal in the Fujitsu Showroom along corner of Soi Ruamrudee and Ploentchi - Sukhumvit.

Also the free signal at the areas around All Season Square too (Soi Ruamrudee - Soi Wittayu.

There are plenty of signals all over the city some coming from private residences. You just have to locate them.

Yes, at most Amari Hotels, the signal in the lobby area is free too.

Bungle,

True, WPLannet, KSC, AIS are all not free except that in Siam Square area, its advertised as free for True.

It would be great if someone here can work out a good list of FREE WIFI in Bangkok to improve on that Stickman's list and your list where some free wifi spots were listed.

Hi all,

anyone knows where i can find cheap/cheaper/free internet hotspots in bangkok? i'm staying in palazzo and they charge like 400Baht a day... chor man.. anyone has any idea?

Thanks!

Bro,

U jus walk out palazzo hotel, facing 7-11, make a left turn, walk down in less than 20steps, u come across a massage/internet cafe on ur left. Think price much cheaper than palazzo. Of course not cheap like those in MBK/town internet cafe whereby, 1hr 20bht. thats the onli cheapest along palazzo. Or walk down towards huay kwang market, there cheaper. But if i were you, i will use the one next to palazzo.

wah, we need a bkk brother to help us update the stickman list man.. i have resigned myself to paying outrageous internet access fees to have internet in the comfort of my room.. hhehe.. 400baht for 24 hrs :) can faint..

These two lists are great! Some of the spots require some kind of consumption e.g Absolute 7 Pub in Soi 7/1 Sukhumvit but overall, these two lists made my day! Thanks.

Reading through the thread, I would just like to update everyone that there is a new shopping complex just mins away from the China embassy along ratchada.

Esplanade has alot of free internet hotspots! MacDonald with McCafe is one of them, which I go often for free internet to do some surfing and work related. Hey, just like back home in Singapore!

So if you stay along Ratchada, no need to go MBK or other cafe, travel via the MRT can liao is just outside Esplanade. For example, when I stay in Watana Mansion (Sutthisan MRT), I pay about 17Baht per trip to Thailand Cultural .. something (MRT station), think its about 2 stops away.

My recent trip I was surfing in Pracharaj bumphen Huaykwang near Ratchada City Hotel.

They've got several internet cafes.

I went to the one nearest to my gf's house at soi 8.

Internet is only 15 baht per hour. There was once I was in a hurry and I surfed for 15 mins and they said no need $$...

This place is just less than 10 mins walk from the MRT...

There once was a very good old barber in New York. One day a florist goes to him for a haircut. After the cut, he goes to pay the barber and the barber replies:"I am sorry. I cannot accept money from you. I am doing community service."The Florist is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, there is a thank you card and a dozen roses waiting at his door.

A policeman goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber after the cut.But the barber replies: "I am sorry. I cannot accept money from you. I am doing community service." The cop is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning the barber goes to open his shop, there is a thank you card and a dozen donuts waiting at his door.

Singaporean software engineer goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber after the cut. But the barber replies: "I am sorry. I cannot accept money from you. I am doing community service."The Singaporean software engineer is happy and leaves.The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, guess what he finds there?Can you guess?Come on, think like a Singaporean....Have you got the answer?

Public-wifi name is a default name (SSID) of a particular type of wireless router, It always does not and can not connect up online.
