TLDR : Answer Summary

Travelers to Thailand for 2-3 months can find affordable pay-as-you-go SIM cards, especially by avoiding airport purchases and opting for local providers like True. Users report plans starting around 150 to 235 baht ($5-$8 USD) per month for unlimited data. Recommended locations to buy SIM cards include 7/11 stores throughout the city, which offer a variety of brands and plans. Using apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger over Wi-Fi is also recommended.

Yes they are, just don't buy a sim card in the airport, wait until you get into the city. Plans vary, but I pay 200 baht per month for unlimited data ($6usd). No need to minutes or sms.

Pre paid, there's no contract. I use Dtac, but AIS and True have the same 200 baht plans.
