I know it's almost a contradiction in terms, but I'm looking for a good hosting provider whose servers are located inside Thailand.

I need to host a very big file inside Thailand so that people inside Thailand can download it at a very high speed (like, something anywhere near what their ISP promised them!).

Almost all hosting providers that people recommend actually locate their servers in the US or China or Hong Kong, and that's useless for me because the main bottleneck is Thailand's ridiculous gateways to the outside world.

The file is around 380MB and I anticipate around 230GB/month typical data transfer (which many sites erroneously call "bandwidth") and perhaps 460GB/month during peak months.  I would like a plan with 1GB of storage so I have room to put new versions of my file.

My requirements are absolutely basic: just normal HTTP download.  No SSL, no certificates, no need for any kind of fancy control panel or any server-side scripting whatsoever.  People will not be fetching any HTML files off this server at all.  It will just be for this one big file.  I just need an HTTP spigot in Thailand!

Can anyone recommend a good company?  Ideally one you also use?

I have searched many Thai ISPs but it's so hard to tell which are legit.  Also, the prices are so widely varying that some of them are clearly lying.

Here are some of the sites I have found, but I've no idea which are reliable/honest, and in most cases it's not 100% clear which of them actually have servers located in Thailand:
