Hotels with Wifi in Phuket

Internet coverage has expanded vastly over the past few years and is now available in just about every region of Thailand. The same applies in Phuket and when choosing a holiday hotel it is more a question of which one does not offer Wi-fi.

A large proportion of the island’s hotels provide Wi-fi as an added convenience for guests and in many establishments it is also free, even in chalets, villas, rooms and suites. Wi-fi is available in all genres of accommodation on Phuket. Sometimes cheaper guest houses will offer it free, but a few of the larger resorts tack on a surcharge for it.

Phuket has just about 100 per cent internet coverage and hotels in locations including Mai Khao, Nai Thon, Patong, Surin and Phuket Town have Wi-fi. Wi-fi is even available on outlying islands, with the Rayaburi Resort on Koh Racha and GLOW Elixir on Koh Yao Yai among premises offering fast connectivity.

The Charm Resort is a favourite with well-heeled Patong visitors and free in-room W-fi is among a whole host of amenities, the highlight of which is a large outdoor pool. The Charm charms with homely touches like bathrobes and slippers. Rooms at Patong’s Golden House are a pleasing fusion of contemporary and traditional and free Wi-fi is standard at a nightly rate that is unbelievably low.

The Swissotel Resort at Kamala is an exclusive holiday venue offering every convenience with a choice of cable internet or Wi-fi in room. The region around the island’s international airport attracts business travellers and hotels such as the Airport Overnight Hotel consolidate both Wi-fi and free transfers into their room rates.

The Regent at Cape Panwa is a good choice for those needing Wi-fi. Hotels in this area come with private beaches and are within easy distance of Phuket Aquarium, the main port and Phuket Town. In the old town itself, the Rommanee Classic Guesthouse and the Sino Inn are two of several premises providing W-fii plus very good value for money.
