Bangkok, Thailand + Add a trip

Starbucks - there are many cafes spread throughout the city. There are also a variety of other like shops that offer free wireless internet connections.

I don't think it's free at Starbucks, last time I checked in August 2008 it was 100+ baht an hour.

You can get free wifi @ Coffee Society, 24 hrs cafe in Silom. Or Bee Bug cafe in Silom.

Nearest BTS station for Coffee Society or Bee Bug cafe is "Sala Daeng", 0 min walk from BTS, 3 min walk from underground.

Good luck!

There are free Wi-Fi at many branches of Black Canyon Restaurant. As far as I know there are at Museum Siam and Central City Bang na. Bangkok Metropolitan Administration also offer free Wireless LAN service. Contact http://services.trueinternet.co.th/greenbkk/registration_en_phase2.php for registration.

Currently you can sign up for Green Bangkok WiFi which is provided by any "truewifi" access point. The problem is that you are restricted to 64kbps, which is just about enough for checking email and very light browsing.

A few coffee shops offer free wifi in the central Sukhumvit area. Larry's Dive on soi 22 has free WiFi, as does German Beer House on soi 11. A few other pubs also have free wifi, although it is questionable whether you'd want to bring your laptop to a night out of drinking.

If you are in Thailand for a while, you can sign up for faster True WiFi access by purchasing a True SIM card from any 7/11 and registering for an EDGE/WIFI package. http://www.truemove.com/eng/product/package/sms_mms_gprs.htm

You can get 30 days of GPRS/EDGE/WIFI for 450 baht. It is a reasonable price to pay, since you can use the EDGE connection wherever there is no WiFi coverage.

With a True phone, go to True Cafe in Siam Paragon

SIM Card in Thailand is very cheap. You can get information at True (http://www.truecorp.co.th/eng/customer_support/location_trueshop.jsp).
