Thai SIM card: Is it worth it?
It depends....If you’re planning a two-week holiday and will mostly stay in one place or at your dream hotel, the Wi-Fi is perfectly adequate. If you’re staying a little longer and want to travel around the country, a Thai SIM card is worth it!
Airport SIM cards
Just beyond the customs exit, on the left in the arrivals hall, you’ll find several providers. You can also buy SIM cards in town, for example at 7/11 stores or at shops run by the major providers in well-known malls such as MBK, Central World or EmQuartier . Then download the relevant app and you can check how much data or call credit you have left. You can also see how long the SIM card is valid for. Each time you top up, the validity period is extended.
Internet app and top-up
First, check how much data you actually use. Then consider how many days you’ll be in the country. This will determine the size of your data package. For example, I recommend asking about the data package you want at a 7/11 and having the staff top it up for you. To find out how much credit you have left, call the service number shown on the SIM card packaging.
