TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, with a Thai internet package for one month, you can access most apps including messaging and banking services. While internet/data performance is generally good, some users recommend setting up a VPN to bypass potential restrictions on certain sites. Overall, major communication and financial apps are usually accessible without issues.

I have a phone plan

But if I remove the card and replace it when I get to Thailand.

Then I just put my sim bac in on return home.

A phone plan and a carrier lock are two different things.

Thailand restricts certain sites, mainly newspapers and I think some betting sites but not messaging apps and banking.

What sites are blocked in Thailand?

@Garrett **********
, some news sites that have in the past criticised the Royal family or Government. The Daily Mail a UK newspaper is one. Also some betting sites.

, you may also of noticed during your spell there, that when it comes to applying and enforcing rules and points of law, there isn’t always the appetite. But when it comes to blocking IP addresses, it’s a game of cat and mouse.

Rich Coy My spell here? Been here almost 5 years now. And I'm just replying to your statement that "daily mail is blocked in Thailand," it is infact not.

Yes internet/data is quite good here.

You may also need to setup a VPN to access some things at home but if only a month probably not an issue.
