A free public wi-fi service will be made available at 15 piers along the Chao Phraya River by the end of the year, Deputy Transport Minister Prasert Chantararuangthong said on Thursday.

The free w-ifi initiative was offered as a New Year gift for the public, in line with government policy to offer free access to wireless internet at public venues, Mr Prasert said.

The 15 piers have been chosen as pilot locations and include Sathon, Chong Nonsi, Nonthaburi, Sathu Pradit, Din Daeng, Memorial Bridge (Saphan Phut), Phra Pin Klao Bridge, Ratchawongse, Thewet, Kiak Kai, Si Phraya, Krung Thon ( Sanghi) and Kheaw Khai Ka.

First off, nothing has occurred as yet, it is only in the boasting stage. Secondly if it is anything like AIS or others that boast bogus speeds in the 3's, don't get your hopes up. Free postage stamps would be quicker. Remember, TIT. Image and talk far outweigh substance and results.

Great idea, but how are the multitudes of foreign (aliens) visiting Amazing Thailand and wanting a WiFi connection at these and other public places supposed to do? Borrow a Thai friend's laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.???
