Land in Thailand. Skip the SIM queue.
Buy the plan at home, install it over Wi-Fi, and turn flight mode off when the wheels touch. The phone finds a Thai network by itself — at Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang or Phuket — with no roaming rate from your own carrier and no queue at an arrivals-hall SIM counter.
Or get the app to manage your eSIMs and get an alert before your data runs out.

Frequently asked questions
The questions that come up before departure.
What is an eSIM?
A SIM that exists as software inside the phone rather than a chip you slot into a tray. Installing a plan means scanning a QR code, nothing more, and whatever physical SIM you are already carrying does not move.
Does my phone support eSIM?
Most phones sold since 2018: iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and most current Android models. The phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Our setup guides show where to check on your model — for Android, dialling *#06# and looking for an EID settles it in five seconds.
When should I install it?
At home, over Wi-Fi, a day or two before you fly — installing it does not start the clock. Validity only begins once the eSIM first connects to a network in Thailand. Doing it early costs nothing and spares you fumbling with airport Wi-Fi while a taxi queue waits outside.
Do I keep my own number?
Yes. The eSIM is data-only, so your home line stays active for your number, your SMS codes and your messaging accounts. Point mobile data at the eSIM and leave the rest alone. What you do not get is a Thai number — see below, though for most visitors that never comes up.
How fast is it?
It runs on a national Thai network: LTE wherever that network reaches, and 5G in Bangkok and the larger cities. Enough for maps, video calls, uploading the day's photos from a beach bar, and working from a laptop over the hotspot.
Do I have to take my physical SIM out?
No — leave it exactly where it is. Both SIMs run side by side; the setting that actually matters is which one handles mobile data. Route that to the eSIM, then turn off data roaming on your home line so it does not rack up charges quietly in the background.
Flying to Thailand?
Install the plan before you go, and land with the internet already working.
