Phuket, and the connections it runs on
With about 79,000 residents, Phuket sits where city broadband gives way to rural connections. Phuket is a town in Thailand.
Making a bundle last in Phuket
How far does a 5 GB bundle go in Phuket? About 8 hours of HD 720p with Silux Media, versus 3.7 hours with other media servers at the same picture quality (our measurements).
Travelling around Thailand
The nearest other cities we cover are Pattaya (623 km), Bangkok (691 km) and Chiang Mai (1214 km). On trains, buses and roads between them, quality re-adjusts every three seconds.
Crossing into Malaysia? George Town is about 349 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Phuket's time zone and viewing hours
Local time in Phuket is UTC+7, with no clock change. Between 19:00 and 23:00 local (12:00–16:00 UTC) shared networks are at their fullest, which is when Silux Media's lower data use matters most.
Close to the equator, Phuket has about 11 h 40 min–12 h 35 min of daylight all year, so evening viewing starts at much the same time in every season.
Questions from Phuket
Does it support Thai subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
Can I watch my own films in Phuket?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Phuket or wherever you take them.
What does Silux Media cost in Thailand?
Free. Running the server at home in Phuket costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
Can I watch my films in Malaysia?
Yes. Over the border in George Town (around 349 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Phuket.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Phuket?
Between about 7 and 11 pm local time. Quality re-adjusts every three seconds, so a crowded evening network means a lighter picture for a moment, not a frozen one.
How much mobile data does a film use in Phuket?
Roughly 0.6 GB for an hour of 720p and 1.0 GB in 1080p, so a two-hour film in HD fits in about 2.0 GB of your plan.
