Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
Hi all, I just re-arrived back to Thailand on 60 day tourist visa (I hope to extend with ED visa later). I am planning to get an apartment with my friend and sign for a 1 year lease. So, right now, I am looking to get a new SIM card soon, but considering that I'll need internet at a new apartment, I'm wondering what process is best to approach SIM, and internet in probably two weeks or less. Any advice appreciated as to what mobile/internet company and plan I should get! TIA

In my experience wait to see what fiber the building you choose has installed and through which provider then sign a contract, get it turned on

Get a SIM card for a month then internet & sim package later. My package with AIS is about 320baht/mth for fiber internet & a 5Gb SIM card. Will take about a week to install. Ask in a store for the best specials they have.

Most phone companies have unlimited data plans, I'm with DTAC and paying about 300B/ month unlimited 10mbps. You can Hotspot that till you get your fibre sorted.
