I am surprised you got that much through or need that much. You can test out a hotel's connection by connecting directly in at a business center. If it suits your needs, you can check into that hotel for a couple days. Then move around to the other hotels that worked. There are hotels who claim to cater to high tech road warriors.

I will try to communicate with some airbnb owners in Bangkok. But I am afraid to approach them as I tried to do with some airbnb hosts when I was visiting India, they got all freaked out and suspicious, then a girl finally took me in but she had just 500 gb limit and I used up 350 gb in two days and she started moaning.

It is a bit hard to explain why I use this much data partly because of the confidentiality agreement I have with my clients.

If I get access to high speed unlimited internet and Bangkok, I am in heaven as I can continue to make money during the day and fuck during night!.

I don't know. I think it really depends on where the content is or whether it is delivered by content delivery network, and not how fast the connection is.

I suggest try to download to a company local site, and then only access parts of the file via VPN window to it.

I do that in countries that we have servers. I now just use remote access for short term solution.

How about airbnb?

Better hotel does not equate to faster Internet connection, but usually more stable. The fastest I have found is AIS Super WiFi that is easily available everywhere but it also depends on the hot spot location. I spent a couple of days going to different places to test. The problem for me is that oversea connection is too slow to download large file via company VPN.

I have similar problem. FTP via VPN to my PC was very slow. 12 M (not that big at all) took several minutes (at a Hotel Internet), should be several seconds. I suggest try to download to a company local site, and then only access parts of the file via VPN window to it. Alternatively look at file summarisation, since you cannot really look at all parts of a large file (assuming not video). Also compress (Terse) data first.

I have not totally mastered these problems yet. Still working on it, from remote Thailand location, "Baan Nork". Not Hotel now.

At least have a pretty good Internet Connection. CAT company supplies best internet in Thailand for home use (from my experience in Bangkok and elsewhere). I have not tried AIS Super Wifi. I have tried True and 3 BB (in past years ago) and both were shitty, with my phone 4 G (AIS) working better than those.

Use hotel wired connection not wifi. Or a business center or Internet shop. Ask to wire connect. There are sometimes limits on wired connection so Internet shop won't like that.

I can use to download or upload about 50-60 gb per day, it would be fantastic. I mean, I would be in paradise. Is it possible to buy an usb internet connection which can meet my requirement? The normal 4 g is limited to 4-8 gb and I can finish it in 2 hours

I am sure others will disagree with me, but at the macro level nothing tops Bangkok for mongering. The quantity, variety of options, access, and cost are better than anywhere else. On each individual merit there are probably places that would take the top spot, but all considered I can't think of anyplace else that even comes close. Considering that bangkokg and pattaya are less than 2 hours from each other; this twin city combination is really unmatched anywhere else. You have streetwalkers, p4 p massage (low to high), BJ bars, app "dating", escorts, beer bars, gogo bars, pickup bars (thermae), pickup apps (wechat, ect), regular massage places where you never know what might happen, and then even more local places that tourists don't typically even touch on like sideline girls and other local venues that fall somewhere in between. This is not to say that other places aren't great, I love the philipinnes too, macao is terrific, and Japan has an interesting scene too. If you like one specific thing then go wherever that is best. But for variety nothing tops thailand for options. Add a robust public transport system (full disclosure I am from the US so ANY public transport seems like an accomplishment), great variety and quality of food, interesting cultural attractions, the most diverse and affordable hotel options ($30 USD to $400 USD a night and everything in between, and relatively easy access from airport connections world wide I don't see anything that comes close to competing. Now it certainly was better in the past and the value has certainly declined, but that seems to be just about everywhere. Macao 5 years ago when I first went was around 10-20% cheaper, girls better performers, and more selection. My favorite location in PI just went up last year from 3000 peso LT to 4000, that's a 33% price increase! Sure I would love it for P4 P to go another direction, I would also love for american girl's to start clocking in under 70+kg, but wishing isn't going to make is so. I didn't fall for LOS on my first trip and even didn't plan a long 2nd trip, but after that second trip I knew I would be back for years. Anyway maybe it's just my yellow fever acting up.

Haven't been to Thailand in about 8 years, planning a gentleman's vacation for later this year. Doing my due diligence research on the forum and kind of got the impression the scene may be drying up a bit, at least in BKK. Sounds like Annies is closed and finding good places is more difficult for the visitor.

Last time I was there it was like shooting fish in a barrel. Nana and Annies were my goto, and it was hard to walk in certain areas without have massage girls call out to you.

Are things still hopping there or should I consider another venue? I hear Frankfurt is pretty active.

Hi guys,

I plan to take few days off from where I am working and stay in Bangkok for about a week or two and work from here and also have fun during off hours. I usually stay 4 or 5 star hotels but I just find the wifi connection really unreliable.

If I can get access to high speed internet connection for which I can use to download or upload about 50-60 gb per day, it would be fantastic. I mean, I would be in paradise. Is it possible to buy an usb internet connection which can meet my requirement? The normal 4 g is limited to 4-8 gb and I can finish it in 2 hours.

Thanks in advance!

Bangkok is still hoping, Annie's only had the used dried up variety anyway, nothing to miss. As to Frankfurt I'm sorry but you've heard wrong on that, big decline in service with an increase in what the girls want to charge you. Still good for a stop over but not worth an extended vacation.

You sound like some of the women I know. They can never go to a restaurant without sending something back or making a special order modification of a menu or off menu item. Caesar, dressing on the side, no anchovies, shaved cheese not grated and so on. High end restaurants are used to it. Make your special request, no bread, no carbs.

Has a few Tapas dishes, unfortunately a few with bread, where I normally don't like to eat bread nor potatoes, however maybe a few dishes left to try.

[Mr Enternational]

Despite this it is still much easier to eat good healthy food in Thailand than in Europe, unless you cook your own. Veggies are available in Thailand. Dishes without sugar can be found (not easy). Just that young people avoid veggies these days.

I always get my vegetables steamed instead of them putting all that oyster sauce shit on it. Some places have refused to prepare it steamed, but at my regular joints all I have to do is walk in and they know what to start cooking. I love that shit.
