Hi, not a Thailand specific question but wondered if any advice , we will have a 2 day stopover in Doha, ( we plan on using esim for thailand, but unsure about the 2 days we will be in Doha.

Answer summary

For a 2-day stopover in Doha, various options for staying connected include purchasing a prepaid SIM card from Vodafone at the airport, although it may not be economical for such a short duration. Alternatively, many hotels, cafes, and bars offer free Wi-Fi. It is also advisable to check with your UK mobile provider regarding roaming charges, such as Vodafone UK, which charges around £8 per day for internet usage.

Not sure who your provider is but might be worth asking them. Vodaphone UK charge £8 per day to utilise your UK internet. You could also check out Ooredoo.qa and see what they offer

Vodafone have a kiosk at Doha Airport for prepaid SIM but for 2 days may not be economical. Most bars/cafes, hôtels etc. have wifi.
