TLDR : Answer Summary
For a short stay of 1-2 months in Thailand, most recommend getting an AIS SIM card due to its extensive coverage, especially in remote areas. Users mentioned that plans cost around 300 Baht per month for 10-20 Mbps unlimited data. Although AIS is favored, other providers like True and DTac also offer similar services. It's convenient to purchase a SIM card at the airport, where they can set it up for you. Additionally, one comment inquired about where to buy a cheap phone compatible with AIS.
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.

AIS, True or DTac. Arguably AIS has a larger coverage (in the far outer reaches of Thailand) but you’ll not find too many differences in any of the popular tourist places. Buy a SIM at the airport while waiting for your luggage. Yes you would be able to find one cheaper outside, but the 2 £ or $ difference is negligible for the time you want it for. They’ll set it up for you while you wait.

All pretty much the same. About 300B/mth for 10-20mbps unlimited data. AIS if you're going to remote places
