TLDR : Answer Summary
Users recommend several eSIM options for use in Thailand, including AIS and True as the top choices known for reliable service. Other users have had good experiences with DTAC, while Airalo is suggested for those traveling across Southeast Asia, though it may be pricier and lacks calling features. Promotions for affordable packages like a 10-day 50GB eSIM for $8 were also mentioned.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be tdac.in.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

Airalo is overpriced. Amazed to see people recommending it so often.

AIS. I use a physical SIM, but I can't imagine it working any less good with a eSim.

Airalo is great if one is traveling a lot between countries. If one is staying in Thailand, some of the other options being presented are better. For starters, Airalo doesn't include phone calls. It's also more expensive than the other options. I do love Airalo for it's convenience while bopping around SE Asia though.

I always use a physical sim, just in case the primary phone die, and i have to use the secondary phone.
