TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can change mobile providers in Thailand and keep your same number. The process involves contacting your new service provider who will guide you through the necessary steps. It generally takes about 48-72 hours once initiated by your new provider. Ensure that your current provider has your account details (like your passport information) to facilitate the switch.

The previous provider gives you a code number. Give it to new provider. No cost but takes a day or so.

Yup sure can.

It takes around 48-72 hours once it’s submitted from your new service provider.

Just check with your current provider that they have your current passport details your account and then head to the new provider with your phone & passport in hand.
