I'm just sharing some information about SIM cards. I needed a high-speed, unlimited data SIM card for working from home. At the AIS shop in a nearby shopping mall, I couldn't sign up for the 1199 baht 5G MAX unlimited plan. However, I was able to sign up at the AIS shop in Siam Paragon. It seems that because there are relatively few users of the DTV visa itself, there are differences between shops. By the way, with TRUE, I was told that I would need to buy a new tourist SIM every month, which wasn't practical.

Whilst in Thailand for two months initially, i need to buy a SIM for opening a bank account. But also to speak with family back home.

The house we are renting doesnt have wifi and i dont want to install one for just two months.

What are the best data packages in Thailand for unlimited wifi so I can tether my iPad to my iPhone?

What are the best deals for cell phone service.

I have my own phone, I will need a number in my name for my visa. I'm in the khon kaen area. I don't need unlimited data. I don't mind paying for a year in advance if it saves money. Thanks.

Not directly Visa, but related :

"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!!!

Hello everyone,

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.

Thanks in advance for your help! 🙏
