Fibre at home, mobile data as a backup, and co-working when you need a desk.

The essentials

Home fibre is fast and cheap by global standards — plans around 500 Mbps to 1 Gbps typically cost 600 to 1,000 baht a month.
The main providers are AIS Fibre, True Online, 3BB (owned by AIS since 2023) and NT.
Some condo buildings only have one or two providers wired in. Ask before you sign the lease.
5G mobile data is widely available in cities and makes a good backup.
Co-working spaces are common in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket, with day passes and monthly plans.

Remote workers and anyone who needs a reliable connection at home.

1. Ask your landlord or building office which providers are available in the building.

2. Order at the provider's shop or website with your passport and lease. Installation is usually within a few days.

3. Check the contract length — 12 to 24 months is common, with a fee for leaving early.

4. Keep mobile data on your phone as a backup for outages.

Passport, lease or address, and a Thai phone number. Some providers ask for a Thai bank account for monthly payment.

Signing a lease for a building where only a slow provider is available.

Signing a 24-month contract when your lease is 12 months.
