True's tourist SIM costs 349 baht for 10 days of data, and AIS's Traveller SIM 299 baht for 15 GB over 8 days (checked October 2026). Bring your passport, an unlocked phone and some cash in baht.
eSIM plans for Thailand
Install one at home before you fly and you are online when the wheels touch down, with no queue at a SIM counter.
Mobile networks in Thailand
Thailand's two main mobile operators are AIS and True, which merged with dtac. Both cover Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and the main islands well. A travel eSIM connects to one of them as a roaming partner, which is why data roaming must be on for the eSIM line. The partner network can differ from plan to plan, so check the plan details, or ask us at support@esimlounge.com before you buy.
