Summary
ThaiSarn — Thai Social/Scientific, Academic and Research Network
education research legacy
ThaiSarn (THAISARN-TH-AS-AP), the Thai Social/Scientific, Academic and Research Network — Thailand's academic and research networking effort.
What it's used for
- Connecting Thai universities, research institutes, and government research bodies to each other and to the wider internet.
- About 8,700 IPv4 addresses supporting research and education traffic rather than consumer subscribers.
Notable
- This is an institutional network: addresses map to campuses, labs, and research facilities, so traffic is academic rather than residential.
- ThaiSarn was one of the earliest organised internet efforts in Thailand and is associated with NECTEC, the country's national electronics and computer technology centre.
Interesting
- Its low AS number reflects how early Thailand's research community got onto the internet relative to the country's commercial providers — the academic network came first, and consumer ISPs followed.

Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
