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?

Hi, not visa related but I will give it a go. So need to get a new UK sim but am in Thailand atm. Current sim will apparently not work after 3 months (told by EE day before i flew here). What I thought was to ask friends in UK to send Lyca mobile sim here but just googled and must activate in UK first. Any idea's what I can do. I only need sim for accessing some bank accounts. Thanks.

I've had my cellphone number for over 30 years and I would like to keep it once I move to Thailand. Can anyone tell me how I can maintain this number, without incurring ridiculous charges from my phone company here in the U.S.? Thanks in advance

Hi All

Looking for some advice.

Retireing in Thailand later in the year.

I have had the same UK works phone number for over 30 years, and use it for everything.

Obviously this uk sim will have to be returned.

I will then have to get a new uk sim and change my mobile phone number on all my uk accounts ect.

I realise I will have to get a Thai number when I move for Thai bank reasons.

Do I have to keep swapping between uk and Thai sims, maybe have 2 phones. Or will uk banks ect accept a Thai number ?

Just looking for a simple and cheap solution.

Thanks for your help 🙏

Hi all, should have said, I have an iPhone and would like to keep it,
