CHON BURI: Pattaya city has invested 24 million baht to install a free WiFi system along the beach for the general public and tourists.
The state enterprise CAT Telecom Plc was hired to install the @Pattaya City Free WiFi service with 24 hotspots now available for internet users.
Pol Maj Gen Pinit Maneerat, the city spokesman, said the project reflected a desire to offer upgraded technology in line with the development of the much-touted Eastern Economic Corridor in Chon Buri and neighbouring provinces.
The service points will begin from the Dusit Thani beach to the Bali Hai pier area. The budget is for a one-year contract.
Users have to register with their personal details to get two hours of free access per day, with validity of one year.
