Thailand eSIM

Most travellers don't: WhatsApp and LINE keep working on your existing account. Whether a plan includes a Thai number is in its details.

Only with an app linked to Thai QR. The Bank of Thailand lists links with China (UnionPay, Alipay, WeChat Pay), Hong Kong, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and some neighbouring countries. The UK, US, Australia, India and the EU aren't on that list, so travellers from there pay by card or cash.

AIS, TrueMove H, dtac. Which one you connect to depends on local signal.

Anywhere the plan’s networks have signal, including Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai; rural and mountain areas depend on local coverage.

Yes. Operators here are listed with 5G; each plan's networks show which.

It depends on the plan: some keep a usable speed of 1 Mbps / 5 Mbps; others drop to 128 Kbps / 384 Kbps / 512 Kbps, which is enough for messaging; others stop data.

It depends on the plan: first connection, installation or purchase. See Validity starts in the plan details.

Yes. There's no total data cap; any speed limit shown on the plan still applies.

94 of these plans state personal hotspot support, so you can share data with a laptop or travel companions. It comes out of this eSIM’s allowance. Look for “Personal hotspot” in the plan details.

No. Each QR code installs once. If you delete the eSIM or reset the phone, it can't be installed again, and once it has connected to a network it can't be refunded.

Some plans add data, some add days, and some can't be topped up; each plan says which. Top up from the eSIM in My eSIMs. There's nothing new to install.

Yes. The listed price is the final price.
