  • Needed internet in your phone but what operator and package should you choose, listed all details plus some advise from local.
    Everyone coming to Thailand should see this, send it to your love one.
    *coming with friends and family buy the same operator so you can make local call as much as you want*
    *giving away free SIM card might not worth it*

      But 599 Plan doesn't have unlimited but 30G data right? I want unlimited data and hence feels more inclined towards True Move 699 plan but then it won't have as smooth coverage as AIS

    Best is not to buy a tourist Sim. Buy a regular Sim at 7/11 from true. It's 150 to 350 Baht. With 350 the data was so fast that I could run a smart tv with it.

    In 4 former Thailand trips I have used True and purchased at arrival, my last visit 3 weeks ago due to plane being late and car waiting, I went to Big C the next day to get my sim. I went with AIS and the package I got was 299 Baht - 45 days 50GB. I thought there must have been a mistake but when I went back into AIS store while in Kanchanaburi (Robinson) they checked and it was correct, I still had 48 GB.
