TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around the inquiry of whether one can port an Indian SIM card to a Thai network. Most comments suggest that it is not possible to port a SIM across different countries due to different cellular networks and call codes. Instead, the consensus is to purchase a local Thai SIM card for cheaper and simpler mobile services. Some users also mention using alternative services such as Google Fi for connectivity.

You're not porting it because it's a different country cellular network. They are on a different call code therefore you can't take that same number unless it's already freely available here in Thailand.

Just no.. Why would anyone want that anyhow? You can turn on roaming on your Indian sim card... If you want to use the number. Get a local sim for data.

What do you mean by port Indian sim to Thailand network? Just get a Thai sim card. It's way cheaper and easier than doing the porting thing.

No you’d need to buy a Thai SIM card or you’ll be charged roaming charges from your home provider.
