smithzac91 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I used a DTAC 'happy tourist' plan. Two weeks including unlimited data. It was great. Same here. No complaints from me either. Had to top it up do to sending text messages back home but was easy to do in 7-11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 All the plans seem to be roughly comparable for data. Any in particular stand out for LTE/4G service? Or for SMS rates/plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsons1 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) All the plans seem to be roughly comparable for data. Any in particular stand out for LTE/4G service? Or for SMS rates/plans? You have to make sure your mobile phone receives the proper frequencies for 4G/LTE service in Thailand. You may buy a SIM and a plan, then realize your handset doesn't receive the 4G/LTE signal anyway. Phones fluctuate like crazy... Best to check a site like this first: https://www.frequencycheck.com/countries/thailand https://willmyphonework.net/ I find that these sites aren't updated regularly though... a brand new phone takes months to be put into the database, also be aware that a certain model may have several submodels for where it's being marketed (North America, Asia, South America, etc) and receive different signals. I gather that travelers on holiday just buy the Data plan and use a texting app while in country. That's what I plan on doing, seems to be the cheapest route.

Jollocay Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 After years of using AIS for data only, this year I switched to True. With A IS I was getting too many really slow periods. Found the True card a better option for now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangman Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 After years of using AIS for data only, this year I switched to True. With A IS I was getting too many really slow periods. Found the True card a better option for now anyway. I've used AIS for years until last year when I accidentally went to the wrong booth at the airport and got dtac. When I first visited Thailand I always used true and I absolutely hated it as it seemed they would spam you like crazy unlike AIS and Dtac.

heretolook Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I bought a DTAC Sim in Pattaya in December of 2015. Sadly AT&T didn't follow through on unlocking my phone when they said that they would... I still hae that unused sim, should I plan on bringing it back with the hopes that it still works or just start over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosunje Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Receive a basic SIM and recharge it through top-up. This can be done for 150 baht. But it's complicated. A sim of 350 baht will be comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankmustho Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Does Thailand have e-sim? If I could avoid the hassle of having to buy a physical sim that'd be swell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of these link show options to buy online with e-sims.

buddy616 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 What's a good sim card that's more phone call friendly than data friendly How much data comes with a plan is a bonus, for me the most important thing is I need to be making phone calls back to Australia on a regular basis About 100 minutes and 30 days should be sufficient Please advise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
