  English Language Newspapers
The two main daily English language newspapers in Thailand are the Bangkok Post and the Nation. They are available throughout the country although you probably won’t find them is smaller towns.

The more popular of the two for native speakers of English is the Bangkok Post. Thais fluent in English tend to prefer The Nation.

As newspapers go, they are both OK.   Fax & Photocopy Service
Fax and photocopy machines are available throughout the country. Probably about the only place you can’t find them is in villages. Most towns of any size at all would have them.

In addition, you can easily send faxes internationally as well.

Thailand is totally up to date in terms of fax and photocopying service.

  Internet Service
Towns with any sort of population at all (say 5 - 10,000) will most likely have a place you can use the Internet. Major population centers and provincial hubs will have numerous Internet cafes. Unless you are way out in the sticks, you should have no trouble finding a place to use the Internet.

Prices vary widely. In tourist areas, the going rate seems to be one baht per minute. In areas around universities where there is a lot of competition, it can go as low as 10 baht an hour.
