Best E sim for Thailand please

Answer summary

The best eSIM for use in Thailand appears to be AIS, as it is frequently mentioned for its excellent coverage and reliability. Several users recommend getting a SIM from AIS for best performance, especially in urban areas like Bangkok, Hua Hin, Pattaya, and Phuket. Alternatives such as Maya Mobile (which also uses AIS) and HolaFly are suggested, with HolaFly being noted for its effectiveness across multiple countries, although it is more expensive. AirAlo and SimOptions are mentioned for eSIM options with discounts available. Users also advise purchasing a SIM card at local 7/11 stores for convenience upon arrival.

Only AIS and True (who merged ith DTAC) have masts.

All others are mickey mouse that rent bandwitdth from them.

For Bangkok, Hua Hin, Pattaya, Phuket, those "afffordable" may be good enough but go to the provinces or travel between bigger cities and there maybe unreliable reception or not at all.
