Connect Internet Cafe in Patong since 1998

Connect Internet Cafe was open on the 1 April 1998 as one of the first Internet cafe on the Island, and we are still open.

In the beginning we had dial up connection with modem sharing. We were one of the first to get ISDN and then later ADSL connection on the Island.

Now (2008) we have two 2 Mbps broadband connection by ADSL from ToT and CAT telecom.

Since early days we have LAN access in all rooms and WiFi access in the common areas.

Since Connect was not at all affected by the 2005 Asian Tsunami, Connect was the place for many journalists to send their reports and photos by Internet to their news agencies.

We do still have many journalists as regular guests staying at Connect since many other hotels cant give the same service when it comes to fast and free Internet Connection in all rooms.

The concept and name, Cyber cafe, was invented at the beginning of 1994 by Ivan Pope. Commissioned to develop an internet event for an arts weekend at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, Pope wrote a proposal outlining the concept of a cafe with internet access from the tables. The event was run over the weekend of March 12-13 1994 during the 'Towards the Aesthetics of the Future' event.

In June 1994, The Binary Cafe, Canada's first Internet cafe, opened in Toronto, Ontario. During the 5th International Symposium on Electronic Art, ISEA, in August 1994, an establishment called CompuCafe operated in Helsinki, Finland, featuring both internet access and a robotic beer seller.

Inspired partly by the ICA event, a commercial establishment of this type, called Cyberia, opened on September 1, 1994 in London, England. The first American Internet cafe, named the Internet Cafe, opened in March 1995 in the East Village of New York City.
