just get a phone with an esim you STUPID FRICK, its 2023
imagine complaining about this shit when YOU are the one living in the past, holy crap
kinda redundant to get a sim card when im in a new country every 2 weeks. how about thailand fixes their shit? e
it takes 5 minutes to set up an esim, imbecile frickwad
everyone in thailand just uses mobile internet, so you expect the ENTIRE COUNTRY to set up wifi hotspots just to cater to YOU?
holy frick you're a moron
>I can't bum free wifi off the country
An e-sim costs like $10 for a week dude.
>$10 for a week
Holy fricking hell imagine overpaying that much
Just get a sim at 7-11, you'll pay like a 140 baht for a month of unlimited internet.
this moron buys 4Mbps internet. lol.
Sorry, wasn't aware you're traveling with your seedbox
>being so poor, spending $10 in a week is a big deal
low iq OP
esim is irrelevant, he might as well get a sim card it's cheap anyway.
mind you I'm mooching off free wifi in indonesia, but that's because it's part of my plan to kick my internet and SighSee addiction. so far I'm having mixed results.
Keep trying brother, I too am having mixed results.
The absolute state of SEA losers in 2023
All the incel b***hboys sperging out, while missing OP’s point that Thailand is - in fact - a cancer shithole
Just because some of you homosexuals finally got touched by a woman in thailand, doesn’t mean you have to defend it at all cost
>Thailand is a shithole because there isn't free wifi everywhere
You can drink the water in Thailand, you can't say that about 90% of countries. Oh but Thailand doesn't give you free wifi instead you have to pay pennies to get a sim card.
just get a sim card it's like 5 bucks you moron sperg
>Doesn't have a dual-sim phone
>Doesnt get an e-sim
You don't have the right to complain.
Same is with Japan. free wifi is extremely hard to find and have to register most of the time to use wifi you do find. gonna make a thread about le japang too?
Japan is technologically backwards on practically everything so this kinda just proves OPs point about Thailand being a backwards shithole.
>Japan is technologically backwards on practically everything
Have you seen their public bathrooms? They have robo toilets and everything is extremely private and nice.
yeah I have seen their bathrooms. with the shit stains all over the bidet and bowl and the 3 inches of piss on the floor.
wtf, when I was there even their train station toilets were immaculate
those are only for the tourists they still have squat toilets in public places
Wut? How hard is to give your Twitter account for free wifi? Everywhere in Japan is the same.
Never seen the twitter wifi.
>Everywhere in japan is the same
Spoken like a true tourist who only has been to Tokyo, osaka, and kyoto hahahahaha.
>I go outside the major cities and have trouble finding wifi
It's like that in the US too.
>currently live in small town of 9k people
>have no problem finding free wifi
thats strike 2. want to keep looking moronic?
>I know where the free wifi is in my own town
Wow so impressive.
Takayama had free wifi and that is not a precisely a big city. Just giving you a quick example. But you sure told me buddy
I didn't know this but being the laptop gay that I am that's a huge turn off for me. Why the frick does Japan not have public wifi?
Because Japanese people don't use public wifi in general. Everyone has mobile data and its cheap nowadays. I get 20 GB 4/5 G internet for about $20 with my phone plan, and upgrading to 100 GB is only a little more.
Meanwhile, most tourists are not abject poorgays, so they will rent a mobile hotspot for a few dollars a day.
Because nips are supreme. Only boomer and poorgays whine about public Wifis.
Squat toilets are supreme too, weeb?
>No wonder China, Vietnam and even fricking Laos are ovetaking this shithole
Literally fake news
Like others have said, get a SIM card, they cost a negligible amount. You're gonna need a working phone if you wanna do you-know-what, anyway. eSIMs are a meme and will subject you to random penis inspections.
This skit is legitimately funny wtf snl
No Google/Apple pay for tourists either; it's moronic as frick but hey it's Thailand.
Get your own damn wifi you fricker
>Arrive in Thailand
>Buy Thai SIM card
>SIM card is for 7 days but I leave on the 8th day
>Didn't get 14 days cause it would have been overkill
>Have flight today (8th day)
>Wake up early and get ready to go early
>Ask hotel how to get to the airport
>Take Grab to the train station that they tell me to go to
>Find out that there are TWO airports
>My airport is BKK
>In the wrong area
>"Ok no problem. Let me find some wifi and I'll get a new grab"
>Go to nearest decent restaurant that I can see
>No wifi
>Go to 7/11
>No wifi
>Get the brilliant idea to pay for extra data on my sim card at 7/11
>Cant do that for some reason
>Go to bookshop
>No wifi
>Go to three coffee shops and a drink shop
>No wifi
>After 45 minutes I find a place with wifi
I perfectly good trip turned into an absolute fricking nightmare. HOW THE FRICK DO THESE BROWN MONKEYS NOT GET ANYTHING RIGHT?! I am absolutely seething right now and may miss my flight. In Vietnam there is public wifi everywhere. What a fricking shithole.
>>HOW THE FRICK DO THESE BROWN MONKEYS NOT GET ANYTHING RIGHT?!
>You failed to buy a sim card with enough data to cover you for your trip
>You failed to plan for wifi the day you leave
>You didn't look up where you were going before you left your hotel room
>You didn't specify to the hotel clerk you wanted to go to BKK. DMK is a smaller airport but it still services international flights
>You take a grab to the train station ???? instead of the airport that has free wifi everywhere
>You can't extend your SIM card because you bought a prepaid sim card worth 7 days (duh moron)
>This is Thailand's fault
Why didn't you just ask the hotel clerk to call you a taxi to BKK?
Pretty obvious you're a Thai monkey. How about you fix your shithole country?
>You failed to plan for wifi the day you left
Didn't expect to use wifi you moron. It's the hotel clerks fault but it honestly shouldn't be this fricking impossible to get wifi.
>You didn't specify the hotel
I'm a tourist. Most cities I've been to just have one airport. Hell I think I even mentioned BKK to her.
>To take grab to the train station???
Cause I'm not near the airport. Of course if I would take the taxi directly there you moron. Taking the direct rail line is what saved my ass from missing the flight. Traffic is a thing you dumbass.
>You can't extend a 7 day sim card
I'm literally paying them money to do just that. If your sim runs out of data its commonplace to deposit money into it.
>Pretty obvious you're a Thai monkey. How about you fix your shithole country?
Pretty obvious you're a moron. Don't travel abroad anymore, it's not for you.
ok padthaicel. keep pimping out your sister to my countrymen like the cuck you are.
I'm American and I creampie Thai girls. I don't know why you think a Thai person would be posting on SighSee.
I've literally never had a problem getting anywhere in Thailand. Then again I'm not moronic.
>I'm American
>I creampie Thai girls
Sure you are ricel.
You're a schizo as well it seems. Yes, I'm a poor Thai man who speaks English and comes to the SighSee travel board to defend my country against morons who can't figure out how to get to the most traveled to place in the most tourist friendly city in the world.
>he most traveled to place in the most tourist friendly city in the world
Not the guy you're replying to but the fact that "the most travelled to place in the most tourist friendly city in the world" still can't figure out basic services like this in fricking 2023 is kind of testament to how absolutely moronic this place is.
>The staff is usually terrified of going through the registration process with people who don't speak Thai and will make up excuses to get rid of you.
Same with this. You'd think that after decades of sitting on their ass and having gajillions of tourism $$$ prop up their economy they would learn to not shirk away with a confused face like a furrowed shriveled prune when a foreigner asks the most basic of all questions. Frick, even in some middle of nowhere hicktown in Vietnam any shoeless rando will gladly set you up with anything you could possibly need. In Thailand an "educated" city worker with 3 mobile phones employed at a shop to sell you the exact thing you're looking for won't even take a 5 second break from popping their zits to barely acknowledge you. Then you look at their reported IQ levels which fall every year and the fact that they spend the most money on the education sector in all of ASEAN while getting the worst results and it all makes sense.
is a shithole because there is no public wifi
Thailand is a shithole because it's an irrelevant cesspit of incestuous superstitious alcoholics masquerading as a superior culture whilst contributing absolutely nothing of value except sultry men with breasts and food that blows your ass out. The lack of public wifi is simply one of their many many issues. Like frick, how difficult is it to NOT feed a constantly multiplying population of rabid street dogs? They're in their millions now but nobody does anything because muh Buddhism. Or how difficult is it to have actual sidewalks without potholes or spaghetti tangles of wires at head height.
What "basic services"? Catering to morons who can't even figure out how to get to the correct airport?
What else happened to you, anon? Poor thing. Did you fall for the gem scam?
Or you so ugly that even the trannies won't come near you?
Frick off to Singapore then you pampered little b***h. Thailand is a beautiful for its faults as it is for its successes. Gentrification pussies who want to sterilize the place need to stay the frick out of Thailand.
Thailand is a shithole and should be glassed along with anyone with the stamp in their passport
You should probably just stay at home if you can't handle Thailand.
Kek. I've been called a ricel too despite being Hispanic. Asian masculinity lives rent free in these people's heads
>>I'm a tourist. Most cities I've been to just have one airport. Hell I think I even mentioned BKK to her.
You mildly autistic bro? You have to realize that the only thing that you can blame for this at the end of the day is yourself. Heard of online check-in?
Bangkok is one of the biggest cities in the world, you think 1 airport would serve 14+ million people? Don't bother going to Tokyo, Seoul, Istanbul or New York in the future, you might somehow frick it up again. Frick I think London has like 4 airports, what you gonna do if you end up there?
I was in Thailand last month and it's far from a perfect country. It's the most western SEA country but still a SEA country in most metrics. What makes the overall experience worse are the man children like you running around making life more difficult for locals and tourists that don't have room temp IQ
>Frick I think London has like 4 airports
Heathrow; Gatwick; London City; Luton; Standtead; Southend
>It's Thailand's fault that I'm a moron and can't do a single planning thing right
You are dumb as frick. For real
>Find out that there are TWO airports
>My airport is BKK
>In the wrong area
How are people this fricking stupid, I genuinely don't get it.
I swear to God, every single time I'm on an airport bus or shuttle in a city with two airports some cretin will realize in panic that he's going to the wrong one.
My guess is that the people on the bus and OP made the same mistake. They both asked a moronic Thai monkey on how to get to the airport and the moronic Thai monkey didn't tell them that there are two airports.
Awful luck to end up asking a Thai monkey of all the people in Istanbul.
My favorite is this conversation with the average brainlet thai (ie all of them)
>"which way to the bank/airport/market/temple?"
>"yes"
God I hate these homosexuals.
Next time download the offline google maps for the city you are in, it may help.
The search function won't work though, that's why the night before you check where the airport is. Imagine actually talking to people lmao.
Is this a thing in Thailand post-COVID? I remember 2019 there was wifi pretty much everywhere in all restaurants and cafes and shopping malls and stuff. Went for years and never felt the urge to buy a SIM card.
>Ask hostel where I can get a sim card
>They tell me at the 711 across the street from us
>Go there
>"Sorry we don't sell sim cards to foreigners"
It's like they actively want me to hate this shithole country. OP learned that hard way that Thailand is a meme country. Don't visit that shithole.
>pic related is my brain every time I have to deal with a moronic local Thai monkey
Just try a different 7/11. The staff is usually terrified of going through the registration process with people who don't speak Thai and will make up excuses to get rid of you.
I had an actual honest to god TrueMove store tell me they don't carry sims, imagine that.
>thailand is a shithole because there is no public wifi
A thread died for this
>Thailand is a shithole
This was my experience too. Rats everywhere and the people see you as a walking ATM ready to scam you. Go visit a civilized East Asian country like Korea or even China. Thailand is a shithole.
Is it true that the Thai language sound really gay? Like really effeminate and also grating? I've heard it compared to finger nails on chalkboards
You can just google people speaking Thai moron. But no you come here to shitpost instead.
All of SEA is like that
TTT here. My new how has public Wi-Fi that isn’t blocked so I’ll be around. I’m going back July 2024. Let me know if you guys will be there
Costa Rica had the worst phone sim service I have ever experienced from Claro.
Some serious issues with OP.
Are Sim Cards hard to find over in thailand? Im heading to Koh Samui next week and need to get one when i get there. Any help would be much appreciated
Just go to a local cell provider like AIS/dtac and they'll set you up. I think I paid $9 for basically unlimited data/local calling for 30 days. 7/11 or the airport booths will charge you something stupid like $40 for a 2gb 7 day package
legend mate, thank you for the info
Type "ais shop" "dtac shop" or "true shop" into google maps, visit shop, buy Thai sim. I think 711 sell True sims, I'm sure I read they have a deal with the network although I bought an AIS sim from 711 a few years back - might have changed since then.
They may also have counters at Samui airport like they do at Suwanabhum, google it (like you should have done before posting this thread)
>I think 711 sell True sims, I'm sure I read they have a deal with the network
7/11 Thailand's parent company also has a large stake in True.
Quiet a few travellers I meet never buy SIM cards. A lot of countries are just really well connected with public wifi that you never need a sim card. I know a Vietnamese local who doesn't buy internet.
Thailand is the exception cause its such a shithole. Every time I go back it feels like I went back 20 years and I remember why I left.
this would of been valid maybe 20 years ago when everything was paper based and not everything was connected to the internet
> sir can I see your e-ticket / proof of online purchase?
> oh sorry I don't have mobile data do you have wifi here somewhere lol
Japan is the posterchild of modern connectivity but most of the free wifi spots literally require a local sim card and number to activate them. free wifi spots are suppose to supplement your data usage not replace it
third world conditions
OP is a homosexual and his thread sucks; this is now a Thailand General. Anyone know where I can find an opium den in Thailand? More specifically around Chiang Mai?
Thanks anons.
There are small tribal villages outside of Pai in Mae Hong Song (accessible with a scooter) where they sell opium to tourists. Never done it myself but it's been a thing for years apparently. That's the closest thing to opium dens I've ever heard about.
>Son
Thanks, appreciate the answer.
Can a call be spoofed with them or would I need a totally new phone to send prank texts to buddies for the lulz?
The sim cards in Thailand are cheap, I don't see why anyone would bother with wifi when you can just pay $25 at the airport and have data for a month. I landed in Japan after and was floored when they wanted $80 and don't even give you a phone number.
>his hotel doesnt have free wifi
>his phone plan from back home doesnt allow for unlimited roaming and 100gb+ data
Why do you need wifi when out in public? Are you playing league of legends in some thai park?
Why is everyone in this thread acting like no public Wi-Fi is only a thing in poor countries? US doesn’t have it
Majority of Western countries don't. It's just as Asian thing.
>Thai shithole doesn't have wifi
>"WELL whatabout the US?! They also don't have wifi?!"
Cause the US is also a shithole. It's the Africa of first world countries and I'm only half joking when I say that.
Public wifi isn't even a thing in most euro countries.
Last time I was in BKK they were giving away free sims when we got off the gate. I just went to a 7-Eleven to top it up after the 2GB ran out. Think it cost me about $5.
There are tons of places you can get sim cards really cheap.
To reemphasise: Nignogs that care about public wifi should be executed. And I don't mean .exe, I mean heads rolling. Poorgays. Whining about public wifi in 2023. Shut the frick up.
I just use T-mobile and have unlimited data at 512kb/second.
Not good but it works
Most wifi passwords in Thailand including the airports is 12345678 but you can just download an app that will tell you all the stores wifi passwords wherever you go
what app is that
There's literally dozens. Try google.
Most moronic thread on SighSee
just buy a sim card you autists
Are morons really struggling to buy a sim out here? I arrived on Saturday morning, got the train in to town, walked in to the first 7/11 I see and bought a True sim with a months worth of data for 350 baht. Just give them your passport and they'll sort it out.
stop being a whiney gay
