Thailand's Phuket offers free Wi-Fi internet access to public
PHUKET, Nov 25 - Phuket City and TOT Plc, Thailand's state-owned telecommunications company, have joined hands to provide free Wi-Fi hotspots to the public in some areas under the project of "Phuket Free Wi-Fi".
Two public parks -- Saphan Hin Public Park and Chalermprakiat Public Park -- are the spots for Wi-Fi access.
The project aims to offer local residents and tourists alike to be able to search for information through a modern communication channel and to promote the use of information technology (IT) among the public, which is as well regarded as to promote a better quality of life.
"We want to create a learning society in Phuket, and public parks can be both a recreational and learning place at the same time," said Phuket City mayor Somjai Suwansupana.
Those interested can register for the free-of-charge access at both public park's service points before loggin on to the Wi-Fi system on their laptops or mobile phones.
The city has initially targeted 600 users monthly for the service, with each user having two hours to surf the internet for a log-in. (MCOT online news)
