Thailands international bandwidth is all routed through a government monopoly called CAT (communications Authority of Thailand) as such I am told that bandwidth to tier 1 ISP's is approx 50x the normal global equivalent costs..

So yes bandwidth is bandwidth but here is costs many multiples more and hence companies are always lieing about what they have, what they provide, and high contention (for users) is the norm. It is not in any way competative for a site to host inside a region with a government monopoly overcharging them..
