TLDR : Answer Summary

This conversation discusses various mobile plans available for a 20-day stay in Thailand. Users recommend plans from AIS, Dtac, and Jetpac esim options, highlighting features like unlimited talk and significant data allowances at competitive prices. Visitors suggest buying SIM cards upon arrival, particularly at airports or convenience stores like 7-11, and mention benefits of eSIMs for ease of activation. Recommendations include confirming current packages and network performance, as offerings may change frequently.

Because i already have a postpaid subscription, i never tried to order and activate a tourist sim inside the dtac application. Just noticed it’s there. Worth a try

If you arrive at Suvarnabhumi then you have all the major providers right there. They usually have lists of the current promotion packages.

Before switching to post paid, I used AIS prepaid because of the best network.

You should not rely on what ppl say here bc mostly the information will be outdated when you arrive in the country.

store - They set it all up for me .This was not a difficult or expensive . Of course my Thai wife was there to explain what I needed . I would not have confidence in Vodaphone -I have read so many Negative reports about their tricks ...

Just came back from Thailand last week, and i very highly recommend Jetpac esim I bought the 10$-50gb pack and the setup was super easy! Took me 4-5 mins. I landed in Thailand, and switched it ON! It took about 1-2 mins to connect! It was amazing 5G and awesome speeds! It was working even on phiphi island! Really amazing and highly recommended! They also have an added perk of free lounge access if flights delayed, though our flight was on time, so we couldn’t use that! Website below Www.jetpacglobal.com

@Lloyd **********

being very honest… over 20+ times.. I’ve bought my card in the airport once I’ve picked up my luggage. Then I call my home to let everyone I arrived safely.

3 weeks ago I paid 350bht for 15 days unlimited(but it probably is limited)😂

Go to any AIS store in a mall with your passport and they'll set you up in 10 minutes. They might steer you to more expensive service, but ask for the cheap ones.

all airport have ais. Just get it from there. Yes, it’s a bit more than if you go to an ais store at a mall or outside the airport. It’s probably $2-5usd more but it’s up to you if you wanna save for the inconvenience.
