If you are in a hotel that registers a TM30, you will need a new one filed when you return to your home base.

How can I get a local SIM card in Thailand, and what documents do I need?

Marianne ********

Just get whatever at the airport.

When the initial tourist package ends you can choose whatever else that fits you through the respective apps.

Still using my tourist SIM from AIS gotten at the airport in December 2021.

There is no difference in price from regular sims.

Anonymous participant 120 once the initial tourist package ends you can choose whatever you want for a regular price through the MyAIS app.

That's what AIS does, anyway.

Do I have to buy a return plane ticket to live in Thailand, or can I do a one-way ticket?

Marianne ********

Unless you already have a Thai bank account or come from a country where your Embassy in Thailand offer a Income Affidavit...

Get the Non-O from your country before you leave.

Your life will be much easier.

@Kim ********

What in the world wold REQUIRE a bank account when you come here twice a year?

I am honestly curious. Please enlighten me.

I lived here for at least 2 years before I got an account. And I still would not need it for anything at all.
