Thailand – known for its stunning nature, beaches & temples.
The country has been in the top 10 most visited countries lists for many years.
And it is the second-most visited country in Asia (behind China).
But that is understandable; Thailand has a lot to offer and is affordable.
So affordable that it got close to 40 million visitors back in 2019.
What can you do in Thailand? A lot.
The Grand Palace and Wat Arun Ratchawararam are must-sees.
If you want to leave the city, head to Railay Beach and enjoy crystal-clear water.
And if you love national parks, you should visit Khao Sok National Park.
As you can see, there is no reason to be bored in Thailand – there are plenty of things to do.
However, what you should not do, in many cases, is roam internationally in Thailand.
International roaming can be expensive, which is why I advocate for local prepaid SIM cards or eSIMs.
Those are often inexpensive and allow you to enjoy local rates.
Luckily for us, mobile data rates are incredibly low in the country.
So, how much do SIM cards cost in Thailand?
You can get a Thai SIM card for between 25 THB (0.70 USD) and 1500 THB (42.15 USD) from AIS, TrueMove H & Dtac, with more than 50 starter packs across the board, in their stores or resellers, like convenience stores. SIM cards are also sold at various airports, including (Bangkok) Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK).
If you are flying into (Bangkok) Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), click on the link above to read about the SIM card options at that airport to save some reading time. Click here for: Bangkok-Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) and Phuket International Airport (HKT).
And those are just the prices for SIM cards – just wait until you find out how cheap data-featured plans are.
Oh, and most plans allow you to use 5G NR as well – fantastic if your phone supports that feature.
In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Thailand. Let's go.

What is the Best SIM Card in Thailand?
If you want to buy the best SIM card in Thailand, I recommend going with AIS. It is the fastest and has the best nationwide coverage, but it is the most expensive (still affordable). Consider TrueMove H as a slightly cheaper option while still offering excellent service and speeds.
Thailand has three mobile operators offering prepaid services easily accessible to travelers:
- AIS Thailand
- TrueMove H
- Dtac Thailand (merging with TrueMove H)
Anyone living in or visiting Thailand can buy a Thai SIM card with restrictions, but you do have to comply with Thailand's SIM card registration regulations.
The main restriction is that you can only have five active SIM cards PER mobile operator in your name in Thailand.
Besides that restriction, you are free to use Thai (tourist) SIM cards.
Regarding the registration requirements, you must show your passport at the point of sale.

You can expect to pay the following for Thai SIM cards:
- AIS Thailand: between 50 THB & 1490 THB (20+ options)
- TrueMove H: between 49 THB & 1499 THB (10+ options)

Be aware that SIM cards sold at airports can be more expensive than the prices mentioned above.
Use the Wise Currency Converter tool (free) for up-to-date THB (Thai Bhat) to your currency (let's say MYR – Malaysian Ringgit) exchange rates.
For reference, below are some exchange rates between THB and USD (US Dollars):
- 1 THB = 0.030 USD
- 10 THB = 0.30 USD
- 100 THB = 2.80 USD
- 1000 THB = 28.10 USD
- 10 000 THB = 281.10 USD
For any other currency, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
(Travel) eSIMs for Thailand
The use of (travel) eSIMs has exploded in recent years.
Not only do more phones have eSIM capability (some US-sold iPhones are eSIM-only), but the number of providers adopting technology has proliferated as well.
This includes local mobile operators offering eSIM and platforms selling eSIMs (travel eSIMs).
If you want a local Thai eSIM, you can get one from AIS, True Move H, or Dtac.
But remember that you have to comply with Thailand's SIM card registration regulations, even when you get a Thai eSIM.
If you do not wish to deal with registration for whatever reason, like privacy, consider getting a travel eSIM for Thailand.
Many eSIM providers have eSIMs for Thailand only, eSIMs for multiple Asian destinations & even global eSIMs, which I discuss in my Thailand eSIM buying guide.
Here is a quick introduction to your Thailand travel eSIM options:
- Airalo: Dtac Happy Tourist (Thailand only), Asialink (14 countries in Asia) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS)
- Alosim: Thailand & Asia Five Pack
- Holafly: Thailand & Asia – all variants include unlimited data
- Nomad: Thailand, APAC (15 or 20 countries, depending on the variant), SEA-Oceania (eight countries) & Global (109 or 139 countries, depending on the variant)
And I know you love discounts, so use one of these codes when getting a travel eSIM:
- Airalo: DEC15 for 15% off (if you have never bought an Airalo eSIM before). Otherwise, DEC10 for 10% off (for existing users) – only the first 3000 users can redeem either discount code)
- Alosim: PTW for 5% off (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want)
- Holafly: PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want)
- Nomad: ADU123 for 3 USD off (on your first-ever Nomad order only)

Thai Prepaid SIM Cards Explored
Below, I will guide you through AIS Thailand, True Move H & Dtac Thailand, and go through:
- Background information
- Mobile coverage
- SIM card types, prices, and availability
- Recharge/top-up information
- Combo plans, data plans, and special packs (such as social media packs)
Let's see what Thailand can offer us in terms of SIM cards.
AIS Thailand
AIS (Advanced Info Service) Thailand, just AIS and not to be confused with the Australian Institute of Sport in Australia, is the largest mobile operator in Thailand.
It is also the best mobile operator in the country.
Besides that, it won the Speedtest Thailand Fastest 5G Mobile Network Award twice in 2021 (Q1-Q2 & Q3-Q4).
But it is, as to be expected, also the fastest on 4G/LTE.
While all of this is good news so far, AIS is the most expensive mobile operator in Thailand.
However, its plans are still affordable to most travelers, especially for those from European and North American countries.
AIS uses the following frequencies:
- 2G: 900 MHz
- 3G: 850 MHz, 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 700 MHz (Band 28), 900 MHz (Band 8), 1800 MHz (Band 3), 2100 MHz (Band 1), 2500 MHz (Band 41) & 2600 MHz (Band 38)
- 5G NR: 700 MHz (n28), 900 MHz (n8), 1800 MHz (n3), 2100 MHz (n1), 2500 MHz (n41) & 26 GHz (n258)
- VoLTE: Yes (+VoNR – Voice over 5G NR)
- VoWiFi: Yes
This is what you will learn about AIS:
* Coverage
* How to Get an AIS SIM Card & SIM Card Price
* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check
* Plans & Packages
* APN/Internet Settings
Coverage – AIS Thailand
AIS has close to perfect coverage throughout Thailand.
Below is AIS' coverage map produced by Speedtest:
SIM Card Price – AIS Thailand
You can get an AIS SIM card for between 50 THB and 1250 THB, most of them with starter perks or plans, in AIS stores and from resellers, like grocery stores, gas stations & convenience stores. AIS SIM cards are also sold at various airports, including (Bangkok) Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) & Bangkok-Don Mueang International Airport (DMK).
If you are flying into any of these airports, click on the links above to read about the SIM card options at those airports to save some reading time.
Because of Thailand's SIM card registration requirements, I recommend travelers get a SIM card in an AIS store for a smooth activation process or at airports (although many salespeople jack up the prices there, unfortunately).
Before COVID-19, SIM cards sold at airports were often overpriced. When I revisited Thailand in March 2023, SIM cards were sold at the official listing prices (again – based on four international airports I visited) 🥳. Moreover, SIM cards must be registered at the point of sale (you cannot self-register them later anymore). So even convenience store staff can quickly register your SIM card for you nowadays through an app. Therefore, you do not have to visit AIS stores for SIM cards anymore, unlike I used to encourage.
The thing with AIS, and basically all Thai mobile operators, is that it offers many SIM cards and starter packs.
In the case of AIS, we are talking about 20 starter packs.
While I usually have a table of all SIM cards offered by the mobile operators, it was too difficult to do so with AIS (and the others).
Especially when half of these SIM cards can only be obtained online, which is not practical for travelers like you and me, or in select stores.
But in most cases, you will pay between 50 THB and 100 THB for an AIS SIM card, which includes starter perks like credit, data, minutes, and/or SMS.
Note that the Zeed SIM cards target teens 24 years old or younger, offering attractive perks for youngsters.
Sorry, oldies, this is not available for you 🤪.
Short-term visitors and tourists can also get the AIS Thailand Tourist SIM card – AIS' tourist offering.
The following four AIS Thailand Tourist SIM cards are available:
| Price | Credit | Data | Social Data 1 | On-Net Minutes | Validity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 49 THB | N/A | 1 GB | Unlimited | Unlimited | 8 days |
| 299 THB | 100 THB | 15 GB | Unlimited | Unlimited | 8 days |
| 599 THB | N/A | 30 GB | Unlimited | Unlimited | 15 days |
| 899 THB | 50 THB | 50 GB | Unlimited | Unlimited | 30 days |
1 for Facebook, Instagram, Line, TikTok, Twitter, WeChat & WhatsApp (I have been informed by insiders that these perks will be phased out by the end of September… but we will have to see if this will indeed be the case)
Be aware that the 49 THB AIS Thailand Tourist SIM card is the Pay As You Go Version, which will be significantly more expensive on the long run than getting any other AIS Thailand Tourist SIM card.
The 299 THB AIS Thailand Tourist SIM card is widely available: Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX), Bangkok-Don Mueang International Airport (DMK), (Bangkok) Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), Phuket International Airport (HKT), (Koh) Samui Airport (USM – not when I visit this airport in March 2023) & almost all AIS stores, mobile retailers & (some) Family mart (although the latter mostly has Dtac Thailand tourist SIM cards instead).
The 299 THB AIS Thailand Tourist SIM card is sold at most AIS stores, mobile retailers & online.
The 1250 THB AIS Thailand Tourist SIM card is supposed to be only sold online… but you can often find it around if you look hard enough.
Note: the AIS SIM2FLY Travel SIM cards, like the ones below, are travel SIM cards. They only give you 500 MB to be used in Thailand… so do not confuse them with the AIS Thailand Tourist SIM cards.
Anyway, if your phone supports eSIM, you have even more (expensive) options:
| Price | Data | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| 299 THB | 15 GB (3G & 4G/LTE) | 8 days |
| 550 THB | 35 GB (3G, 4G/LTE & 5G NR) | 15 days |
| 599 THB | 30 GB (3G & 4G/LTE) | 15 days |
| 850 THB | 50 GB (3G, 4G/LTE & 5G NR) | 30 days |
| 1250 THB | 300 GB (3G & 4G/LTE) | 30 days |
| 1650 THB | Unlimited (3G, 4G/LTE & 5G NR) | 30 days |
Dial *545# to see your AIS phone number.
- Find out how much SIM cards cost in every country, including data-only SIM cards and tourist SIM cards, offered by each mobile operator + information about starter benefits (lookup tool)
It is possible to get an AIS eSIM for the same price as a regular SIM card.
You may want to get a travel eSIM for Thailand, which can be cheaper than getting a SIM card from AIS (in some cases).
Especially when getting an eSIM covering popular Asian destinations if you do not stay in just Thailand or a global eSIM valid for up to a year if you want one eSIM to work practically worldwide.
My Thailand eSIM buying guide analyzes various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.
Here is a quick introduction to them:
- Airalo: Dtac, Asialink (14 countries in Asia) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + call and text feature) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
- Alosim: Thailand & Asia (five countries) – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
- Holafly: Thailand & Asia (11 countries) – these eSIMs have unlimited data – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
- Nomad: Thailand, APAC (up to 20 countries), SEA-Oceania (eight countries) & Global (up to 139 countries) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)
For more information, such as the prices and data allowances, check out my Thailand eSIM buying guide.
But let's continue with AIS for now.
Note that AIS offers VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G)) if your phone supports it and you have enabled it in the settings.
Oh, you can also use VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi).
Top-Up, Recharge & Balance Check – AIS Thailand
AIS top-up vouchers are sold in AIS stores, grocery stores, corner shops & electronics shops throughout Thailand.
The following (online) AIS top-ups are available:
| Top-Up | Channels |

You can top up your AIS SIM card on the myAIS app (Android/iOS).

TrueMove H
TrueMove H is the second-largest mobile operator in Thailand.
In 2021, it was announced that TrueMove H and Dtac Thailand, the third-largest mobile operator in the country, wanted to merge.
The merger should complete in September 2022, but some subcommittees voted against the merger.
Since then, no updates have been given.
As of March 2023, TrueMove H and Dtac Thailand have become one entity (True Corp). According to CommsUpdate, the two companies must operate as separate corporations for at least three years. So there will still be dedicated TrueMove H and Dtac Thailand stores, stalls, booths & SIM cards for now.
TrueMove H uses the following frequencies:
- 2G: 900 MHz
- 3G: 850 MHz & 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 900 MHz (Band 8), 1800 MHz (Band 3), 2100 MHz (Band 1) & 2500 MHz (Band 41)
- 5G NR: 700 MHz (n28), 850 MHz (n5), 900 MHz (n8), 1800 MHz (n3), 2100 MHz (n1), 2500 MHz (n41) & 26 GHz (n258)

Coverage – TrueMove H
TrueMove H has close to perfect coverage throughout Thailand.
Below is TrueMove H's coverage map produced by Speedtest:
SIM Card Price – TrueMove H
You can get a TrueMove H SIM card for between 45 THB and 1199 THB, most of them with starter perks or plans, in TrueMove H stores and from resellers, like grocery stores, gas stations & convenience stores. TrueMove H SIM cards are also sold at various airports, including (Bangkok) Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) & Bangkok-Don Mueang International Airport (DMK).
If you are flying into any of these airports, click on the links above to read about the SIM card options at those airports to save some reading time.
Because of Thailand's SIM card registration requirements, I recommend travelers get a SIM card in a TrueMove H store for a smooth activation process or at airports (although many salespeople jack up the prices there, unfortunately).
Before COVID-19, SIM cards sold at airports were often overpriced. When I revisited Thailand in March 2023, SIM cards were sold at the official listing prices (again – based on four international airports I visited) 🥳. Moreover, SIM cards must be registered at the point of sale (you cannot self-register them later anymore). So even convenience store staff can quickly register your SIM card for you nowadays through an app. Therefore, you do not have to visit TrueMove H stores for SIM cards anymore, unlike I used to encourage.
The thing with TrueMove H, and basically all Thai mobile operators, is that it offers many SIM cards and starter packs.
In the case of TrueMove H, we are talking about more than 10 starter packs.
While I usually have a table of all SIM cards offered by the mobile operators, it was too difficult to do so with TrueMove H (and the others).
Especially when some SIM cards can only be obtained online, which is not practical for travelers like you and me, or in select stores.
But in most cases, you will pay between 50 THB and 100 THB for a TrueMove H SIM card, which includes starter perks like credit, data, minutes, and/or SMS.
Short-term visitors and tourists can also get the TrueMove H Thailand Tourist (Infinite) SIM cards – TrueMove H's tourist offering.
The following six TrueMove H Thailand Tourist (Infinite) SIM cards are available:
| Price | Data | Social Data 1 | Local Minutes | International Call Credit | Validity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 299 THB | 15 GB | Unlimited 3 | Unlimited 2 | 100 THB | 8 day |
| 349 THB | 50 GB | Unlimited | 100 minutes | 15 THB 5 | 10 days |
| 399 THB | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | 100 THB | 8 days |
| 599 THB | Unlimited | Unlimited 3 | Unlimited 4 | 50 THB | 15 days |
| 699 THB | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | 100 THB | 15 days |
| 1 199 THB | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | 100 THB | 30 days |
1 for Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Kakao, Line, Pinterest, QQ, Skype, Snapchat, Twitter, Viber, WeChat, Weibo & WhatsApp
2 for on-net calls only
3 +10 GB for TikTok
4 +50 THB credit for local and international use
5 30 minutes for China, HongKong and Macau
You can get an extra 3 GB of data, valid for 8 days, for 150 THB.
The TrueMove H Thailand Tourist (Infinite) SIM cards are sold at most TrueMove H stores, almost all 7-Elevens & the following international airports:
- Bangkok – Don Mueang International Airport (DMK)
- Bangkok – Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK)
- Chiang Mai – Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX)
- Chiang Rai – Chiang Rai International Airport (CEI)
- Hat Yai – Hat Yai International Airport (HDY)
- Koh Samui – Samui Airport (USM)
- Krabi – Krabi International Airport (KBV)
- Phuket – Phuket International Airport (HKT)
- U-Tapao – U-Tapao–Rayong–Pattaya International Airport (UTP)
Below is a list of Bangkok's BTS and MRT stations with a TrueMove H store nearby:
- BTS Asok (True Ship Terminal 21)
- BTS Phrom Phong (True Shop Emquartier)
- BTS Chit Lom (True Shop Central World)
- BTS Ploen Chit (True Shop Central Embassy)
- BTS Siam Station (True Shop Digital Gateway & True Shop SIAM Paragon)
- MRT Rama (Central Rama)
Note: the TrueMove H Travel SIM cards, like the ones below, are travel SIM cards. They only give you 500 MB to be used in Thailand… so do not confuse them with the TrueMove H Thailand Tourist (Infinite) SIM cards.
Dial *833# to see your TrueMove H phone number.
Call 9304 to change the system's language to English.
- Find out how much SIM cards cost in every country, including data-only SIM cards and tourist SIM cards, offered by each mobile operator + information about starter benefits (lookup tool)
It is possible to get a TrueMove H eSIM for the same price as a regular SIM card.
You should consider getting a travel eSIM for Thailand because they can sometimes be cheaper than getting a SIM card from TrueMove H.
Especially if you get an Asia-wide eSIM or a global eSIM.
I discuss various eSIM options of eSIM providers for Thailand in my Thailand eSIM buying guide, which are:
- Airalo: Dtac, Asialink (14 countries in Asia) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + minutes and SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
- Alosim: Thailand & Asia Five Pack – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
- Holafly: Thailand & Asia (11 countries) – unlimited data eSIMs – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
- Nomad: Thailand, APAC (up to 20 countries), SEA-Oceania (eight countries) & Global (up to 139 countries) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)
As I said, check out my Thailand eSIM buying guide for more information, as I have to continue with TrueMove H for now.
Note that TrueMove H offers VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G)) if your phone supports it and you have enabled it in the settings.
Oh, you can also use VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi).
Top-Up, Recharge & Balance Check – TrueMove H
TrueMove H top-up vouchers are sold in TrueMove H stores, grocery stores, corner shops & electronics shops throughout Thailand.
The following (online) TrueMove H top-ups are available:
- 50 THB
- 100 THB
- 200 THB
- 300 THB

To top up your TrueMove H SIM card, dial *123*VoucherCode#.
For example, if your voucher code is 123456, you would dial *123*123456#.
You can also recharge online with (international) debit and credit cards.
Dial *123# to check your TrueMove H balance.
You can top up your TrueMove H SIM card on the True iService app (Android/iOS).

แพ็กเสริม เน็ตไม่อั้น (Unlimited Data Extra Packages) – TrueMove H
The แพ็กเสริม เน็ตไม่อั้น (Unlimited Data Extra Packages) are data plans with unlimited data (maybe with 5G NR access but without 5G NR speeds).
I have to warn you that 512 Kbps, 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 4 Mbps & 6 Mbps are slow download speeds.
4 Mbps and 6 Mbps somewhat reasonable but still annoyingly slow… you may want to get another plan if you want fast(er) speeds.

Dtac (Total Access Communication) Thailand
Dtac Thailand, just Dtac but standing for Total Access Communication, is the third-largest mobile operator in Thailand.
Yeah – the D is there for decoration purposes 🤪.
As of March 2023, TrueMove H and Dtac Thailand have become one entity (True Corp). According to CommsUpdate, the two companies must operate as separate corporations for at least three years. So there will still be dedicated TrueMove H and Dtac Thailand stores, stalls, booths & SIM cards for now.
Dtac is part of the Telenor group, which is from Norway.
Telenor is also active in Asia (Malaysia – Digi Malaysia and Pakistan – Telenor) and Europe (Denmark and Sweden as Telenor and as DNA in Finland).
Dtac uses the following frequencies:

Short-term visitors and tourists can also get the Dtac Happy Tourist SIM cards – Dtac's tourist offering.

Especially if you get an Asia eSIM (for when you visit at least two or more supported Asian countries) or a global eSIM (for frequent travelers visiting multiple continents).
In my Taiwan eSIM buying guide, I analyze various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.
But I will introduce them here quickly:
- Airalo: Dtac, Asialink (14 countries in Asia) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
- Alosim: Thailand & Asia Five Pack – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
- Holafly: Thailand & Asia (11 countries) – include unlimited data – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)

Net Unlimited Plans – Dtac Thailand
The Net Unlimited Plans are data bundles (with 5G NR access but without 5G NR speeds).
I have to warn you that 256 Kbps, 512 Kbps, 1 Mbps, 4 Mbps & 6 Mbps are slow download speeds.
4 Mbps and 6 Mbps are somewhat reasonable but still annoyingly slow… you may want to get another plan if you want fast(er) speeds.
10 Mbps and 15 Mbps are fine, but you can get faster speeds with other Dtac plans.
The Net Unlimited Plans can be activated on the dtac app:
