Your Thailand eSIM in two questions
Which Thailand eSIM plan do I need?
In Thailand, the right plan depends on whether you're in Bangkok for a long weekend or touring for a fortnight.
- A long weekend in Bangkok: 1 GB for 7 days covers light use: maps, messages and email, about 0.8 GB in all over three days.
- A fortnight touring Chiang Mai and Phuket: 10 GB for 30 days suits standard use, with social media, music and some video.
- A business trip or long stay: 3 GB a day for 30 days is built for heavy use, such as streaming and using your phone as a hotspot.
- Thailand and a neighbour: if your trip also takes in Singapore and Malaysia, the Singapore, Malaysia & Thailand bundle covers all three countries.
Most plans can be topped up, and the longest is 50 GB for 180 days.

These eSIMs cover Thailand and more countries on one plan.
Will my eSIM have signal in Thailand?
Your eSIM joins AIS, DTAC, True Move or TrueMove H. You'll get 5G where it's available and 4G elsewhere, and your phone picks a network by itself, so there's nothing to set up when you land.
Cities, towns and the main tourist islands are well covered. Signal can be weak in remote mountains and some national parks, so save your maps before you head into the hills. Your data reaches the internet through Hong Kong, a normal setup for travel eSIMs, and the IP address guide explains why. On daily plans, speed slows to 384 Kbps once you've used the day's allowance.
How much data do you need in Thailand?
Light: maps, messages, email (about 0.25 GB a day). Standard: plus social, music, some video (about 0.7 GB a day). Heavy: plus streaming, video calls, hotspot (about 1.8 GB a day).

-
Networks: Your eSIM uses AIS, DTAC, True Move or TrueMove H networks, on 5G or 4G where it's available.
