"I will enter Thailand again on a Non-O visa to extend after the procedure. Other times I was in Thailand I had an AIS Prepaid SIM with 'unlimited' data, which cost about 1200 Baht.
Now I want to live there permanently and am exploring other possibilities.
So my question is: what operator and formula would you advise is the best to get a decent amount of data (minimum 2 GB/day or 60 GB/month)."
How do you guys take SIM in Thailand? Is it straightforward, what documents they ask? Since I am planning to stay long-term (DTV) or at least visit time to time so visitor's SIM is not an option and I want to get a full local SIM. Where to get the SIM, at the airport or from city center for better rates? For the network, AIS is the best I guess?
My agent has requested that I obtain a Thai phone number to obtain my LTR Visa stamp at the BOI. I am hoping for an inexpensive way to obtain a Thai number, as my current U.S. service will remain my primary phone plan. Google has provided many options, but most require relativeley expensive plans. Can anyone please recommend a service or app for an inexpensive Thai phone number (or one that had a reasonably priced plan)? Thank you for the helpful information in advance!!!
I’ll be staying in Thailand for a while and I’m looking for suggestions on which mobile company SIM card and package would be best for my stay. I’ll mainly need good internet/data coverage and reasonable call rates.
If you’ve had personal experience with a reliable provider, I’d really appreciate your recommendations.
I have Verizon as my cell phone and I'm on a plan where basically I get unlimited 5G, unlimited international calling, unlimited texting and i'm not about to give it up. But, I want a post-paid Thai number for my eSim #2 - any suggestions on companies and/or plans?
I started with the 15 day unlimited tourist sim. When that ended, i was just going with pre-paid (Dtac). That really chews through the data and the $$ is very high. I have read various posts here and other groups that you need to pay 1 year in advance for monthly post paid plan, or sometimes without work permit they will deny you.
I went to Dtac at Tesco Chalong. No issues at all. To note, you cant convert from tourist sim to post paid until you have had it for 30 days, and i was at only 21 days(maybe only a Dtac rule, im not sure). So i didnt get to keep my original number, but i was able to get onto a new post paid plan, with a new number straight away, no problems.
All i needed was my passport and DTV visa printout (i also had copy of my 1 year lease, but they didnt need to see this). They did ask if we have work permit, but i said no, not able to work. They also asked if we had Thai bank account, but i said no, just Australian bank account.
Plan given on the spot, no pre-payment for 12mths or anything like that.
1199 baht per mth, unlimited fast data, 350 minutes calls to any network.
Hi could anyone advise me of the best esim for thailand we will also be going to Ko Samu. I would prefer best coverage not necessarily the cheapest. Thanks for any tips
