Internet

I have read somewhere that the Thai authorities are making internet acces difficult for visitors. Is this true and can you get WiFi access at the hotels

Jeez. How would anyone know that the person on the Internet is a "visitor"?

 

No it's not true. Internet rules apply to everyone equally. Yes WiFi is available everywhere that a business or individual installs WiFi. The government has nothing to do with WiFi access.

I would think the only difficulty would be if the router is set up correctly.

To say they are hindering Tourists cannot be done(see above) however you may have some sites restricted.

 

TOT (the actual telephone company albeit state owned) did, until recently block you tube etc. Before it was politically motivated as someone posted a critical Thai video, however that was sorted out and now they just ban because they say its eating up the TOT bandwidth!

 

FAO they unblocked you tube last month.
