T&A: If you’re ever transiting or visiting Bangkok, at least you now know you’ve got free Wi-Fi at the Suvarnabhumi international airport. Earlier this year, the airport installed a planned 126 new Internet kiosks around the airport, featuring 10Mbps speeds for tourists.

The free Wi-Fi service, however, goes up to 1Mbps and is accessible from the Concourses and Baggage Claim Areas within the Passenger Terminal building. Passengers have to show their boarding passes at Airport Information Counters before being given a username and password.

If they wish to access free Wi-Fi elsewhere in the vicinity, they will have to buy special Internet cards from the service provider Milcom — either online, via WLANNet or from any Milcom retail agents in the duty-free area. For this service, the rate’s at 250 Baht (USD 7.47) per hour of usage, and passengers can buy services for 1-3 hours of usage.

In the region, both Singapore Changi International Airport and Hong Kong International Airport also provide free high-speed wireless Internet services.
