E-Sim Card Recommendations

Can anyone recommend any good Thai e-sim card providers or deals once I'm in Thailand? Thanks in advance 🙏
Answer summary
Several users have shared recommendations for e-SIM card providers in Thailand. AIS is frequently mentioned for its extensive coverage and various plans, including a popular 6-month plan for 2200 baht. Other options include True and DTAC, with competitive pricing and services. Users suggest checking with locals for coverage in specific areas and highlight the convenience of setting up e-SIMs before arriving in Thailand. Some also mention BNEsim for longer-term data plans that don't expire. Be prepared to provide your passport and relevant visa when signing up.

Nomad esim is very good and price is decent. Really good service! I have a coupon code that makes you 7 USD discount: ANTAGBEDEQ

I did e-sim for my boyfriend with TRUE, 40GB and 150min call per month. Paying around 400THB only. They only ask for passport and your DTV visa.

Yeah, that wasn't an option when we tried to get it for him unfortunately. For my own, I can get unlimited for 399thb also 🤷🏻‍♀️

AIS net marathon, only costs 590 baht for 3 months with 50gb per month (or 2300 baht for one year with 100gb per month)

I have used BNEsim FG or past couple of years - they have plans where you can buy data that doesn't expire so as a regular traveller it's been great

i’m currently on this plan. This plan is by far the most price worthy as it’s got unlimited data and unlimited speed. If you already have a esim, just need to simply top up the balance to be more than. 1600thb in your ais account

And Dialing code to subscribe is

*777*8027# (this is the only way to do it as you will not find this package in the app) and you can recharge the same plan every 60day too

Hope this is helpful and can possibly save you a trip to AIS

It depends mostly of the location, so talk to locals about coverage in that location.

If you visit any AIS store, you can get a year long plan for 2200 baht or shorter plans if you prefer. They can give you a physical sim or esim, whichever you prefer.
