Laptops in Pattaya hotels

[comingtopattaya]

I'm planning my third trip to Pattaya, leaving in a few weeks time. This time, I was planning to bring my laptop with me. Anybody who has done this, when you leave the hotel room, how do you see to it that the laptop is still there when you come back, so to speak ? I wasn't planning to stay in any of the 5 star hotels, rather something like say Sabai Lodge or Thai Garden.

 

Anybody who has faced this problem ? I'd be really grateful for some advice. (Chain the latop to the radiator or something ? )

Put in your big suitcase and lock it. That what I did when I brought a lap top with me. BG never knew I had one.

I stayed at the RG and had no trouble fitting my laptop, cd player, passport and other papers in the in room safe.

Stay in a well run hotel. (the Residence Gardens for instance) and you will not have any problems. A bar girl trying to carry a laptop out of a well run place will get stopped.

What ISP serves Pattaya? My ISP - highstream, doesn't have overseas numbers so I guess I would have to sign up for some kind of 'temporary' service to be able to connect or switch to an ISP with service in Thailand.

Easy to find local internet package at 7-11 and many other places.

Fr. Lust,

 

You can find a list of providers here:

 

most (if not all) of them offer local pattaya access numbers and prepaid packages.
