I couldn't find anywhere else with wifi (except for the really expensive places) in the Khao San region. There are heaps of places in Chiang Mai for some reason. Are Bangkok backpacker hotel owners stingy bastards? Well yes. By the way if you are in Khao San and are looking for WiFi, try KS house:

Just wanted to let you and other readers know that since this post, we have figured out the issues with the internet and the wireless connection at the second house (el segundo) and have got them fixed. Sorry for the problems you encountered. Cheers, Michael Hi Kirsty, This is Michael from Managua Backpackers Inn (the other owner and current general manager).

The Big Foot Hostel is an amazing place and I really like what Greg has done with the Backpacker's Inn in Managua. When I was there for the first of many visits he only had the one house. I like the second house better but as you say the connection is crap. In fact, that can be said for most of Nicaragua. I even had a cable connection at a house I rented there for 6 months and that didn't live up to expectations either. Great post and love your blog! John Kirsty:

I guess I am used to my 14" laptop on my knee on hte couch now - but would like a bigger 2nd monitor one day. Is the WIFI stuff which is the frustration - Australia is one of theworst places outside of the cities.
