best telecom and internet service provider in Bangkok Thailand?
Was going to spend some time in Bangkok. So just wanted to know which mobile phone service provider and dsl internet service provider I should get when i get there. Thanks.
PS: Would appreciate if url to the recommended company’s webpage were also included.
Advanced Info Services (AIS) is Thailand’s largest mobile phone service provider and works very well in Bangkok, their 1 2 Call prepaid service is a good way to go if you don’t want to sign any contracts. They have many different plans, so it’s good to ask about them before you buy a sim card. Dtac is the #2 provider and also is good, both providers offer good discounts within their networks which may influence your decision as to which company to use. TOT and True are the biggest ISP’s, and are also the two largest wired phone services in Bangkok. You often have to use an ISP depending on who supplies your phone service, I have a TOT phone line and True Internet services are not available to me, only TOT. That’s not always the case, you have to check depending on where you live. My broadband TOT service (1 MB) is just okay with occasional drops and is sometimes hard to connect, I know some True users that are very happy and some that aren’t.
