Get a thai sim or esim and turn off data on your US sim. You should still be able to receive texts. The problem might be that you could also receive calls, which could cost you

Does my son need to enter Thailand on his Thai passport or is his British passport sufficient?

Stephen ********

If he enters on his uk passport he will be treated as a tourist. But being a thai national, I believe he is able to stay upto 1 year. Best thing to do would be to renew his thai passport once in Thailand, leave the kingdom and reenter on his thai passport

What is the difference between the automatic 60-day tourist visa upon arrival and applying for a tourist visa online?

Stephen ********

The difference is simply one is a visa that you pay for, the other is not any visa. But is a visa exempt entry stamp granting you the same 60 days the actual visa does. Over multiple entries, I think the visa exempt stamp gets scrutinised more than an actual visa entry.
