Coverage and networks

Your eSIM connects to a partner network in Thailand and switches if the signal is better on another one. The networks for each plan are confirmed at checkout.

Bangkok runs on apps: cars and motorbike taxis through Grab or Bolt, food delivery, and maps for a city where the BTS Skytrain, the MRT and the river boats all connect. Further south, ferry and island transfer bookings arrive on your phone too.

Coverage is good in cities, resort towns and on the main islands. On smaller islands, in national parks and on jungle treks around Chiang Mai and Pai the signal can drop, and boat crossings between islands can be patchy.

Check your phone first

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. If it was bought from a mobile network on contract, ask them to unlock it before you travel.

  • Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number, your phone supports eSIM.
  • Most iPhones from XR and XS onwards, Google Pixel 3 onwards and Samsung Galaxy S20 onwards support eSIM.

We check it against the list of eSIM phones. Nothing is saved.

Thailand eSIM questions

Do I need to register the eSIM with my passport?

No. Thai SIM cards bought locally are registered with a passport, but a travel eSIM connects as a visiting line on a partner network, so you do not register it in Thailand.

Will it work on Koh Phi Phi, Koh Tao and the other islands?

The main tourist islands are covered by Thai networks, with the best signal near piers and villages. Beaches on the far side, viewpoints and dive boats offshore can be out of range.

Is it enough for Grab and maps all day?

Yes – maps, messaging and ride-hailing use little data. A 3 GB plan covers a week of that; choose 10 GB or more if you post videos or work online.

Can I buy the plan now and travel next month?

Yes. The plan starts when the eSIM first connects in Thailand. Install it within 180 days of buying.
