How to Find Internet Cafes?

With the popularity of the iPhone, iPod touch, Blackberry, small notebooks, and the seeming endless number of devices that now allow you to stay connected, it would seem odd to be concerned with places to read your email. Finding wifi hotspots would seem more likely. Not everyone wants to lug around a device regardless of it's size a fact made evident by the simple fact that Internet (cyber) Café's everywhere when you travel throughout Asia.

While it's been a popular topic in many guidebooks the most current and thorough resources can be found on the web (and with your feet on the ground). Here's a list of sites to lead you in the right direction:

easyInternetcafe.com has a searchable list of café's around the world. Easy has their own chain of café's but the database contains other businesses as well. The site includes user reviews and Google maps for many locations. It works well but some of my searches came up blank.

The Cybercafe Search Engine lists over 5,000 Internet cafes around the world, searchable by city, state, province or country.

World66 has a worldwide Internet cafe search feature.

Cybercafes.com contains a database of over 4,000 Internet cafes in countries around the world. You can search by city or country.

Internet Cafés tends to be a transient business and what is listed in one of the directories above might have long since closed. Use these as a good starting point with the knowledge that nothing beats asking someone when you arrive where you can find internet access. If you are in Thailand there seems to be one on every corner. Via Independent Traveller.
