Thailand has one of the most advanced connectivity infrastructures in the region, with 2G, 3G, and 4G networks each reaching approximately 99% of the population, 5G coverage extending to 95%, and nearly 91% of individuals using the internet as of 2024.

However, this national progress has not equally reached refugees and asylum-seekers, many of whom reside in border camps where access to national networks and digital services remains limited.

At the site level, connectivity challenges vary considerably across Thailand's nine refugee camps. Five camps face significant coverage gaps: Ban Dom Yang and Ban Mae Surin have no coverage at all, Nu Po lacks both 2G and 5G, Tham Hin has only partial 2G with no internet access, and Ban Mai Nai Soi has good 2G and 3G but only partial 4G and 5G. The remaining three camps benefit from good coverage across all technologies, and where coverage exists, speed data indicates that quality is generally strong.
