No Cheap Internet for Stylish Travellers

There's one thing I dislike travelling in style. It's difficult to find cheap Internet service.

Last two nights, I was staying Sheraton Krabi and getting 24 hours of internet cost an easy 800 baht. That's a whooping RM80 for few updates and chats on msn.

It's painful. Really.

For a group of bloggers to go on a holiday without wifi is like giving a stripper clothes. It just doesn't work.

Today I'm staying at Millennium Hotel of Patong Beach in Phuket and 24 hours of internet in the room will cost RM60 (600 baht). That is insane.

I have no choice but to walk out in the rain to an internet cafe down the street to pay RM3 for half an hour of internet access. Which sucks because I really like to be blogging from my room. Which is why in most cases, living in a budget hotel or backpacker's inn is so much nicer, they either come with a free wifi or internet is just dirt cheap.

Last night I was staying in Surat Thani and Hi-speed wifi costs about RM10 (100 baht) for a day. However, unfortunately, the wifi service provider here doesn't synchronise with my Vista, damn it.

Will update more about China when I go back tomorrow. My flight from Phuket back to KL is around 4pm hence will be touching down around 6pm Malaysian time. 5 days in Southern Thailand is pure bliss, lots of good fattening local food and good activities.

Everyone is having a blast, travelling with a group of bloggers is out of this world. We click so easily like fish and water, imagine walking 10 mins and have at least 10 cam-whore sessions and 20 random photo sessions, abusing every single food/souvenier/hotel/destination/restaurant we come upon. It's utterly hilarious. We will even bring our cameras into the sea, don't play play.

If I'm not updating this entry from an internet cafe. I would have updated some very very very very silly photos of us by now. However, stay tune. Entries on Malaysia's first blogger's media trip will be coming soon. :D :D :D
