Chinese and HK models are different than the Thai one. If purchased in BKK and it’s not a grey market import then it supports the eSIM.

US model only supports eSIM as it doesn’t have a physical slot

@Gabriel *******

you can get a Thai eSIM and keep your home country physical sim in your phone. They can both be active and no switching. You set one sim as the primary for calls and can override it when making a call
