Assuming, as you're from Hong Kong, you have a Hong Kong passport in which case you arrived visa exempt, not visa on arrival. You would have been stamped in for 30 days and that can be extended once by another 30 days at any immigration office for a fee of 1900 baht

@Paddy ********
well you can have an Esim and a physical SIM on the iPhone. The OP is off on his way to the DTAC shop to sort it out now
Brett **********
@Paddy ********
you can. Xiaomi phones are available in Australia and they have dual physical sims. There are other brands too
Brett **********
@Andy ********
but yes, it should. If you have a dual SIM phone though, you can leave both Sims in and turn on the thai one for data use and set the UK one to and call when you want it to. Then you don't have to keep swapping Sims

@Andy ********
do you want to DM me? Easier than trying to walk through it on posts
Brett **********
@Andy ********
but don't you just need a text from your UK number initially just to get it set up and then you should be good to go? I don't bank with them myself so can't say for certain but know most others work like that
Brett **********
If you're unsure, post the phone model and I'll check for you. Most do nowadays
Brett **********
Do you still have your UK SIM and does your phone have dual SIM capability?

as beaches obviously aren't that important to you, you might like phuket town, it's way less touristy than the coasts with some great restaurants
