The best way to use Surfshark in Thailand is by setting up the VPN on your preferred device and connecting to a suitable server.
Surfshark offers an extensive server spread to unblock restricted porn and gambling sites, an effective NoBorders feature to unblock banned international news channels, and fast protocols for lag-free gaming.
The VPN also boasts a Thai IP address to secure your ATM Krungsri bank online transactions on unsecured public Wi-Fi networks.

How to Set Up Surfshark on PC/Mobile in Thailand?
Surfshark helps you access banned posts on social media networks (Facebook, Telegram, X) or unblock banned news channels like Voice TV and Prachatai.com on your PC/Mobile from Thailand.
Here’s how:
- Purchase a Surfshark subscription (enjoy savings).
- Download a Surfshark app for your device. I’ll download the Surfshark Windows app for this guide.
- Log in to the Surfshark Windows app with your credentials.
- Enable the Surfshark VPN kill switch to keep your IP address and internet activities hidden from Thai ISPs (True, TOT, CAT Telecom), malicious gaming peers, etc., if the VPN connection accidentally drops.
- Go through Settings > VPN Settings and toggle the kill switch ON.
- Connect to a suitable Surfshark location that unblocks banned lèse-majesté publications or lottery and e-cigarette sites.
- Click Quick Connect to join the fastest/nearest server.
- Alternatively, use the search bar to connect to a specific Surfshark location.
- Ensure your Thai internet connection is safe from third-party surveillance by checking for leaks on www.ipleak.net. Your assigned IP address should match that on the leak test site.
- That’s it! Enjoy unrestricted access to banned Thai internet discussion groups like Midnight University, censored Facebook pages (Royalist Marketplace), and outlawed porn sites (Pornhub, xvideos) in Phuket, Chiang Mai, or Pattaya.
I also tested if Surfshark could unblock geo-restricted international content in Thailand. While on the Surfshark US-Detroit connection, I enjoyed HD and buffer-free streaming of original US Netflix shows from the comfort of my Ko Samui beach hotel room.

I conducted speed tests while connected to Surfshark’s Thai server.
On a 50 Mbps network, I recorded a 25% speed drop, averaging 37 Mbps speeds, which was good enough for glitch-free Minecraft gaming.
I also tested if Surfshark’s Thai servers could unblock local content from anywhere.
Once connected to the Thai server, I unblocked the popular Channel 7 HD show Suparburoot Jorm Jon: Maturot Lohgan while out of the country.
