Traveller notes

Airport pickup
Suvarnabhumi (BKK), Don Mueang (DMK) and Phuket (HKT) all activate at the gate on AIS and True.
Hotspot and calls
Nearly every plan allows hotspot. Unlimited plans throttle after a daily cap; check the plan row before relying on it for a family.
Where the network is weak
Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket town are strong. Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lipe and the northern hills around Pai drop to 3G or nothing on dtac-based plans.
Local SIM alternative
AIS or True tourist SIMs at the airport are cheap and fine for 8 days or more. An eSIM wins on shorter trips and if you want to keep your Indian SIM active for OTPs.

Paying from India

Providers take Visa and Mastercard, including Indian debit cards enabled for international use. Expect a 2 to 3.5% forex markup from your bank. UPI, RuPay-only cards and Paytm are not accepted. Apple Pay and Google Pay work where your card does.

Questions travellers ask about eSIM for Thailand

Which eSIM is best for Thailand from India?

Right now it is Airalo with the 10 GB · 30 days plan at ₹1,871. It has a Pakka Score of 8.9 out of 10 for Thailand, based on 660 traveller reviews of Airalo there, and it is sized for a 7-day trip.

How much does an eSIM for Thailand cost?

Right-sized plans for about a week start at ₹897 from Saily. Our pick costs ₹1,871. Prices are converted from USD daily, so expect small movements.

Which network does Airalo use in Thailand?

Airalo rides on AIS, dtac in Thailand. The destination score reflects how that network performed for previous travellers, which is why the same provider can score differently in a neighbouring country.

Is an eSIM better than a local SIM in Thailand?

AIS or True tourist SIMs at the airport are cheap and fine for 8 days or more. An eSIM wins on shorter trips and if you want to keep your Indian SIM active for OTPs.

Where is mobile coverage weak in Thailand?

Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket town are strong. Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lipe and the northern hills around Pai drop to 3G or nothing on dtac-based plans.

Can I use hotspot on an eSIM in Thailand?

Nearly every plan allows hotspot. Unlimited plans throttle after a daily cap; check the plan row before relying on it for a family.

Will my Indian card work to buy an eSIM?

Visa and Mastercard debit or credit cards with international use enabled work with every provider we list. UPI and RuPay-only cards do not. Your bank will add a forex markup of roughly 2 to 3.5%.

How much data do I need for 7 days in Thailand?

For normal use, maps, WhatsApp, social media and a few video calls, budget about 0.7 GB per day, so around 4.9 GB for 7 days. Heavy users who stream or hotspot should double that.

When should I install the eSIM?

Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly and keep it switched off until you land. Suvarnabhumi (BKK), Don Mueang (DMK) and Phuket (HKT) all activate at the gate on AIS and True.
