What to expect from mobile networks in Thailand
Mobile coverage in Thailand varies by area. In cities and main tourist destinations you can generally expect usable data; in remote or mountainous areas coverage may be limited. Our eSIM uses local partner networks – actual speeds and availability depend on the operator and location.
Local networks that may be used include the following (coverage depends on your plan and location):
Advanced Wireless Network Company Limited, Advanced Wireless Network Company Ltd., National Telecom Public Company Limited, True Move H Universal Communication Company Ltd., dtac TriNet Co.. Ltd.
We do not guarantee specific speeds or coverage in every location.
Data usage when traveling in Thailand
How much data you need depends on how you use your phone. The table below gives a rough idea by travel style – no exact GB figures, as usage varies.
| Use case | Typical consumption |
|---|---|
| Light (messaging, email, maps) | Low |
| Medium (browsing, social, some photos) | Medium |
| Heavy (video, hotspot, lots of uploads) | High |
Your travel style in Thailand – city vs. remote, short vs. long stay – will affect how much data you use. Choose a plan that matches your habits.

Frequently asked questions – eSIM for Thailand
Does an eSIM for Thailand work as soon as I land?
In most cases, yes. After you install the eSIM and enable data, it will connect to a local network in Thailand when you arrive. Some plans activate on first use in the country.
Can I use the eSIM in Thailand for calls?
Our plans are data-only. For calls you can use VoIP apps (WhatsApp, FaceTime, etc.) over the eSIM data, or use your primary SIM for voice if your operator allows.
What if I run out of data in Thailand?
When the included data is used up, the eSIM stops providing data unless your plan includes a top-up option. Choose a plan with enough data for your stay or consider a larger bundle.
Is the eSIM valid only in Thailand?
It depends on the plan. Single-country eSIMs are valid only in Thailand. Some plans also include roaming in neighbouring countries – check the plan details.
When does the validity period start in Thailand?
Validity usually starts when you first use data in Thailand (or when the plan is activated, depending on the product). Check the terms in your confirmation email.
Can I use hotspot with my eSIM in Thailand?
Yes. If your device allows it, you can share the eSIM connection via hotspot. Data used by other devices counts against your plan allowance.
Do I need to remove my home SIM to use the eSIM in Thailand?
No. You can keep your home SIM and use the eSIM for data only. Set "Mobile data" to the eSIM line in your device settings.
Will my phone work in Thailand with this eSIM?
Your phone must support eSIM and the frequencies used by local networks in Thailand. Most recent iPhones and many Android models are compatible. Check our device compatibility page.
How do I switch back to my home SIM after leaving Thailand?
In Settings, set "Mobile data" back to your primary SIM. You can leave the eSIM installed but inactive, or remove it when the plan has expired.
Is it safe to buy an eSIM for Thailand online?
Yes, if you buy from a trusted seller. Simcardo uses secure payment and delivers the eSIM by email. Keep your confirmation and QR code in a safe place.
Are there any special restrictions for using eSIM in Thailand?
Use of eSIM in Thailand follows the same general rules as elsewhere. Ensure your device is compatible and that you use the eSIM in line with local regulations.
What are the best areas for coverage in Thailand?
Coverage in Thailand is typically best in cities and main tourist areas. Remote or mountainous regions may have weaker signal. Check coverage information for your route.
Can I top up my eSIM while in Thailand?
That depends on the plan. Some products allow top-up; others are fixed data and validity. See your plan details or contact support for options.
