After registering users will be able browse for 60 minutes at a time after which they will need to log on again.

Each user name and password will be valid for three months and will have then be renewed. The wireless city project would cost Bt75 million over five years, or Bt15 million per year. In the first year of operation, the office of the Hua Hin Municipality has already contributed Bt5 million.
