What you need to get Internet in Thailand
In Thailand, you can install a WiFi at your place of living if you work, study, or have a long-term Visa.
When you're ready to get WiFi, find a place to register. Remember to bring your passport, Visa, and work permit (if you have one). Once you've picked the plan you want, they'll set up an installation date for you.
The cost of a fibre internet connection is around 1,200-2,000 baht per month, depending on the speed.

The Installation
When you sign up for internet, they often give you a WiFi box. Some companies give it free, others you buy. If you don't like their box, you can get a better one and set it up yourself. Each box works in its own way. In big houses with many rooms, pick a box you can make the signal stronger with. Once you have what you need, you can start installing it.
- To install the WiFi signal receiver, link it to the signal line from the provider at your home. Use an RJ-45 cable for ADSL or a fiber cable for fiber optic signals. Then, grab a short LAN cable and plug it from the box to your computer or laptop inside the house. Do one device at a time.
- Open your web browser to connect with the WiFi receiver box. Set up its MAC Address – you'll find it on the box or in the manual from your service provider. Next, set up the IP Address. Once that's done, go to the wireless settings. Give your WiFi a name, set a password, choose security options. Change the username and password to keep your settings safe from unauthorized access.
