Skip home-carrier data roaming, SIM collection or swaps, contracts, airport kiosk queues and ID checks. All you need is an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone for your travel data.
Keep your own number while the eSIM handles data only. Your usual SIM stays in your phone for calls, SMS and bank codes, while WhatsApp keeps your existing number.
Choose a short plan for a Bangkok stopover or Phuket beach break. Longer plans suit travellers combining Chiang Mai, the Andaman coast and islands in the Gulf of Thailand.
Arrive prepared with your eSIM installed before departure, ready to connect on arrival. You can seek a connection before passport control instead of hunting for airport Wi-Fi.
What it is not: a phone number. For a local number to receive sign-up codes or bookings, add a virtual number next to the data plan.
How it works
Land in Thailand already online
Set it up on Wi-Fi the night before. The eSIM waits quietly until you arrive.
2
Pay and scan the QR code
Pay from your balance and get the QR code at once.
3
Turn it on when you land
Turn on data roaming and it finds a network itself.

FAQ
Using an eSIM in Thailand: your questions
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone for your Thailand plan. Dial *#06# to find its EID, which shows that the phone supports eSIM.
Yes, your own SIM stays in your phone for calls and SMS. The Thailand eSIM supplies data, while WhatsApp keeps using your existing number.
Your usual SIM receives codes, not your Thailand data eSIM. Keep that SIM turned on; receiving messages abroad relies on your home carrier’s roaming service.
Shared data comes from the same allowance as data used on your phone. If you share your Thailand connection, your other phones or laptops use that allowance too.
Your connection slows instead of stopping when the daily allowance runs out. Downloads and other data-heavy tasks will take longer at the reduced speed.
You can buy before departure, within the 180-day activation window. Your plan’s days only start counting when you first connect at the destination.
Select your eSIM for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Keep home-SIM data roaming off, then restart your phone and try connecting again.
