What is the best eSIM for Thailand and Ko Samui in terms of coverage?

Rick *********

Get a physical Sim not at the airport for AIS. If you don’t have dual sim, do an eSIM for your home country provider and insert the Thai AIS for data, Line and WhatsApp use. I have this and for three years it works awesome. Can make monthly payments at any AIS store and I have left for two months, came back, paid worked fine.

Can I travel to Thailand on a single flight ticket with a UK passport?

Rick *********

I have never been asked when I had it. Probably because they saw I had it! When I returned one way on a retirement visa they questioned it until I showed the visa.
