TLDR : Answer Summary
For expats seeking unlimited high-speed 5G SIM cards in Thailand, several options are highly recommended. AIS and True are noted for their good coverage and speed, offering plans around 300 baht per month for unlimited downloads. Users suggest checking e-SIM options if your phone supports it, as well as visiting local stores for the best deals. While there is an expectation for unlimited data, some plans may revert to 4G speeds after a limit. Dtac also provides competitive packages, with users reporting favorable experiences with speed and service. Additionally, free Wi-Fi is widely available in many public places.

10 MB they say, but it’s super fast, can watch full HD movies no problem

Been with both True & AIS. From personal experience I can found AIS is much better than true in terms of speed and signal especially if you are traveling around a lot.

I wanted the same. I checked for options at many places & realized there is nothing "unlimited" on 5G. The speeds will be reduced to 4G after a a limit.

Please go to an AIS or True store & check directly with them.

i had Ais and was limited to 20mbs but did speed test and was getting 100mbs so it’s good for the money

AIS is better as I have experienced

shop and top up when needed. AIS and True seem to offer the most signal coverage.

It’s very useful to have a reachable thai phone number, and not much more expensive

You can't have data without a number...

“reachable “

You don't need minutes to receive phone calls. I have data only plans and lazada delivery guys call me all the time.

in Thailand and most countries outside North America, caller pays for all calls so you don’t need minutes or topup to receive calls

@Garrett **********
good to know. I find it very useful to be able to call Thai numbers as well.

@Richard ******
6 years I've never needed to call a Thai number before. Every business or government office has a line or FB account. But eachs own.

yeah I call my housekeeper and make massage reservations. I also find the connection is clearer when I have a longer conversation and works better with sketchy internet than apps.

@Richard ******
Fair enough, I do get an oddly high amount of dropped calls on fb messenger

@Garrett **********
you can have data without any calling minutes.

Ais 300bart per month unlimited download
Sophie ******
@Tim *********
second this and then you can just download AIS app to renew every month. Gives you free access to social media too

Look at the e sim options online, presumably if looking for 5g you have a newer phone. Try AIS or True for best coverage
