- Grand Palace (Bangkok, Thailand): Unstable signal inside the building complex, good 4G coverage in courtyard areas, religious architectural structures affect signal transmission.
- Semporna (Sabah, Malaysia): The resort has 4G coverage, but the signal is weak in the water villa area, and there is no underwater network at the dive sites.
- Borobudur (Java, Indonesia): Stable 4G around the temple complex, intermittent signal at the summit viewing platform, and limited coverage in rainforest areas.
- Koh Samui (Thailand): Chaweng Beach has continuous 4G coverage, Ang Thong National Park's main island has 3G, while the outlying islands experience weak signals.
- Genting Highlands (Malaysia): The casino resort has full 4G coverage, while the mountain road has intermittent signals and no coverage inside tunnels.

Network Usage Tips
Rainforest and Outlying Island Regions
In the rainforests of Kalimantan, Indonesia, and the remote islands of the Andaman Sea in Thailand, signal strength is weak. It is recommended to download offline maps in advance. While 3G/4G networks cover over 90% of the population in Southeast Asia, coverage is limited in remote islands and rainforest areas.
Religious venue restrictions
Inside Thai temples and Indonesian mosques, signal attenuation often occurs due to architectural structures. It is recommended to use the internet in open courtyards and avoid using mobile phones during religious ceremonies.
Festivals and Travel Peaks
During the Songkran Festival (Thailand) and Hari Raya (Malaysia), network congestion is expected, so it is recommended to stagger video calls during peak hours. With over 400 million mobile users in Southeast Asia, base station loads significantly increase during holidays.
Inter-island network switching
Signal interruptions may occur in cross-sea areas such as from Bali to Lombok. It is recommended to activate an international roaming backup plan to ensure communication continuity.
Impact of heavy rain weather
During the rainy season (May to October), thunderstorms may cause temporary disruptions to base stations, so it is recommended to download necessary materials at the hotel. Network stability in Southeast Asia is significantly affected by climate conditions.
Language and Customer Support
Local customer service primarily uses the local language, so it is recommended to keep an English version of the user guide. While major cities in Singapore and Thailand offer Chinese-language support, English assistance is limited in some areas of Indonesia and Malaysia.
Battery Consumption Alert
In areas with weak signals, such as islands, mobile phones consume more power when searching for networks, so it is recommended to carry a power bank. The mobile phone penetration rate in Southeast Asia reaches 95%, but network quality varies significantly across different regions.
Border area restrictions
Some areas along the Thailand-Cambodia border and the Indonesia-Malaysia border may experience network latency. It is recommended to manually select a network in advance to avoid additional charges from automatic roaming.
Price Evaluation
Mobile network coverage in four Southeast Asian countries reaches 89% of the population living within 3G/4G coverage, with a relatively small gap between urban and rural areas (95% urban, 65% rural). Mobile data prices in these four countries are more economical compared to Africa, with basic urban plans (500MB-1GB/day) sufficient for daily needs. According to GSMA data, 4G coverage in Southeast Asia has reached 85%, while 5G is being rapidly deployed in major cities like Singapore and Thailand. For urban travel, a 1GB plan is recommended, while island exploration may require 2GB or more to account for signal fluctuations. Mobile internet penetration in Southeast Asia continues to rise, with middle- to high-income countries in the region (particularly Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand) serving as the primary growth areas.
