I posted this in the other forum but did not get many responses. I was informed that I would be able to use my wireless connection if I brought my computer. However, I still have a few computer related questions when I make my next trip to Pattaya. Any information that the members share would be appreciated (minus the usual snide and catty comments).
I plan on coming to Thailand (going to Thailand?) next year. I will be staying about three months. I want to do some computer work while I am in Pattaya. Mostly typing up lecture notes and editing power point slides. However, I will need an internet connection. I have a laptop with a wireless connection. Most of the projects I am working on can be downloaded onto a flash drive.
Should I bring my laptop to pattaya? It is relatively light but I hate lugging the thing through customs and I am worried it might be stolen. Is it possible to just bring the flash drive and work out of the internet cafes? Would it be possible or even practical to rent a computer to use in my hotel room? If I brought my laptop would my wireless card work? Do the internet cafes in Pattaya generally have a full suite of Microsoft Office products? Word and Power Point for example?
