TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion highlights different mobile networks available in Phuket, with AIS being the most frequently recommended option for its reliability. Other suggestions include Dtac which is noted for potentially cheaper prepaid plans, while True received mixed reviews, with one commenter describing it as 'utter trash.' There are also mentions of avoiding tourist SIMs at the airport unless necessary.
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.

Dtac, AIS and try are all good in Phuket. Dtac probably have the cheapest and easiest prepaid plans for your needs. Avoid the "tourist" Sims at the airport if you dont plan to call home and just need local and data
