Travelling without data plan

If you are travelling and do not have data plan, we always go to fast food restaurants or Starbucks for WIFI right?

But in future dont hesitate to ask the concierge or information counter in hotels and shopping malls if they provide WIFI for tourists. Remember to bring your passport though.

Been staying at this hotel in Jakarta for many times, paying about RM300 per night without WIFI. It's quite an old hotel so it's understandable if the rooms are not equipped with WIFI.

However what I did not know was that they have WIFI in the lobby. Just tried my luck and voila the reception gave me a one-time-use card for 1 hour of free WIFI.



Same goes for shopping malls. The newer ones like Terminal 21 in Bangkok has WIFI all over, so does the airport and even some airport buses in Hong Kong. The key is to ask!
