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.

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.

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

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.

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