What are my options for high-speed internet in rural Cha-am, Thailand?

Question

I have a question about high speed internet in rural areas.

I am considering a move to a rural area of Cha-am.  I should be able to get some type of internet service but I am not sure if an actual "high speed" service will be available.

Have any of you had any experience with getting FAST internet service in rural Thailand?  Any particular companies that you could recommend?

Thanks in advance.

The discussion revolves around finding high-speed internet options in rural Cha-am, Thailand. Users shared their experiences predominantly with 3BB, which is highly recommended for its reliable services and competitive speeds. Installations typically cost around 2-3k Thai Baht, and a yearly subscription is common. Some users have encountered difficulties with availability at specific locations, prompting suggestions for providers like TRUE and KSC, which may offer internet options where 3BB and AIS cannot.

I have just heard from the tech guy from TRUE / KSC internet providers.  They can hook up internet at the place we are wanting to move to.

Have any of you had experience with TRUE / KSC??

But I find it to be pretty reliable.

Thanks to everyone for your comments.  AND YES, I totally agree that 3BB is FANTASTIC.  I have used them and really love that internet company.

But I have just heard from the 3BB tech team and they have gone to the house that we are interested in moving to.  Their conclusion is that they cannot connect with 3BB at that location.  :-(

Any further suggestions are welcomed.  Thanks.

The internet in Cha-am itself is fine. Exactly how far outside Cha-am are we talking?

I have 3BB in Khok Samrong near Lopburi 200 MBPS  Bt 7000 for 12 months 400 or 1T slightly more

Apply here for 3BB Fiber. They will contact you and ask for location. Than you will get an offer for putting Fiber to your "rural area". It will be 2-3k for installation, if there's no Fiber yet. Farang usually need to subscribe for one year and have to pay 1 year in advance.  [url redacted]

I have used 3BB in the past and REALLY like it.

I am now waiting to hear back from them to hear if they are available in that Cha-am location.

Right now I am living in the Bangkok area and 3BB is NOT available in the condo where I am living.  :-(

I was in the middle of f’n nowhere.  Emerald triangle area.  Not too far from Laos or Cambodia.  We had 3BB.   I opted for the 300 MBPS and it was always higher.  I would speed test and often get closer to 400.  Up to 1000 was available if I remember right.

Paul ******* · Answer

I use 3BB.  1,000mpbs down and 500 up for 7xx per month.  Very happy.
