Thanks for the trouble you went through, should be arriving in a week and now I know just what to do. Also love your style, fast paced, no nonsense, very informative😁. You just earned two new subscribers (wife and I)!

[@ProjectBangkok]

Woop woop welcome to the madness 😜

[@PursuingImpact]

Rob, Thank you for putting this together! I have been trying to figure out what the best deal is, so your video came at a perfect time. I know you hated doing it, but it’s actually one of your most useful and helpful videos yet. Much appreciated!! Keep up the great work! 🙏🙏

[@ProjectBangkok]

Happy it helped! Seems to be good timing looking at the comments

[@antoniomorais1503]

Hello Rob. So, the best deals for Sim Cards will be at 7 eleven stores. Is that correct ? Thank you !

[@helen9543]

Thank you for doing the leg work! Your video is so timely as we are coming to Thailand next month! And who can guess you can even make this subject so entertaining 😄

[@ProjectBangkok]

Haha entertaining is a long shot but I’ll take it 😂 thank you for watching 🙏

[@jonh.7661]

I originally got the DTAC tourist sim at the airport for 90 days, and renewable for 90 days two more times (total 9 months). Ended up being about 250thb/mo paid 3months at a time. When that expired, I just used the DTAC APP to go to Packages - My Choice, where you can customize what you want. You can choose how long you want 1, 3, 7, 15, 30, or 90days. Then choose how much data you want at max speed each month. Then choose if you want any minutes for phone calls. I get 90 day plan, with unlimited internet but 20GB at maximum speed, and 30 minutes of calls each month for 608thb/90days (203thb/mo). It seems like a good deal to me. But really, almost anywhere I go, there is wifi available. So having the plan is more of a security blanket.

[@ProjectBangkok]

That’s a lot of numbers Jon 😂 appreciate you sharing because it helps the community for sure 👌🏻

Good stuff! I bought the 599THB True Plan at DMK in early December.. It worked great and the staff there were efficient and helpful. But wow, the 3 month deals in the shopping malls are great!

[@ProjectBangkok]

I was going to go both airports but thought it would just be a waste of time and money to probably get the same prices.. I used to get sims at the airport the first couple of years coming here but then got used to moving around and how things worked here so just waited that extra 20min to get the same sim for less than half the price

[@user-rb6sb4se5y]

AIS has the best coverage especially indoor. Put this in mind because at some indoor places the coverage for other companies is bad and you'll hate that.

[@waylinnelson]

Always appreciate videos like this! It’s good to know they have better deals. Is the currency exchange usually better at the airport or also at the malls? A good video to make would be to show people how to avoid those cabs when they land and show step by step how go take the train to get to your destination in Bangkok. Keep up the great videos!

[@ProjectBangkok]

I’m not sure about the exchanges but that’s a good idea.. sounds like a headache video to make haha 😂 I’m a step ahead of you.. here’s the video about not using the taxis Stop using the Airport Taxis! Airport Rail Link Bangkok Suvarnabhumi kzbin.info/www/bejne/gF6XZ2SQh6t9hqc

[@jonh.7661]

The currency exchange at airports around the world is known to be poor. If possible, exchange only a minimum there to get you through your 1st day. Then go to SuperRich, which is a popular exchange with locations around the city. They even have an APP to check the rates and list the locations. Also, before leaving home, you could open a WISE account. Then you can transfer some cash from your Bank to the WISE account, and exchange to Thai Baht inside the account (great rates). You can use the WISE card almost anywhere/everywhere that takes Visa. You'll still need cash for street food, nightmarkets, and small local vendors, taxi/tuktuks, etc. But the WISE card is quite handy.

[@doingthingsdifferently]

Another useful video, landing next week 🙌 Typically just get one at the airport

Thanks for all that. For years I've kept on buying travellers packs for 600 baht or there about. Pointless, as I don't call anyone apart from on 'line'. I'll just wait til I find a 7/11 and buy the package you mentioned. Perfect! Cheers

Great video as usual! I imagine those cover the whole country, right? I'm not sure if I'm just staying in BKK or might live for a few months in Chiang Mai

[@ProjectBangkok]

The whole country bud. Iv don’t plenty of boat trips in the past where I’m 1-2 hours away from mainland and still have crazy speeds.. god knows how they get the cell towers out there lol have got grab and Bolt in the middle of nowhere. I can’t think of a single time in 5 years I have not had signal

[@joyboycowboy]

Hey Rob, I was wondering if you had any info on the internet in Thailand? I know you talked about the internet speeds in a previous video but I'm curious about the internet deals over there. I'm planning on moving to Thailand to see what it's like and my work is gonna be off my laptop. I love your content btw. My journey through Thailand is gonna be alot simpler because of you. Thanks alot.

[@Absts4ct]

I'm Thai and currently I pay 1014 thb per month for 1gbps download and 200mbps upload and that's home internet. it also include mobile plan, 10gb data and 200 minutes call. and also a truevision(cable tv) it comes with the fiber optic and you just plug it from the modem. and I think it would cost around 599 to 699 just for the home internet.

[@wd9283]

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH. I GREATLY APPRECIATE THIS. Here is my situation. I will be going to Phuket for around 2-3 weeks. I will be working at night and I will need internet fast enough for video conferencing. JUST IN CASE if the hotel doesn't have good wifi, I was going to get a sim card and use my phone as a hotspot. What do you suggest I get for the fastest and most reliable? I assume AIS 100GB? Please let me know if you get the chance. Thank yo so much!

[@rossb9984587]

I'm hoping to go to Thailand for the first time this year so this will be helpful. I've been to Japan quite a few times and I usually get a Sim card online in advance.

[@ProjectBangkok]

Awww Ross! First time.. it’s going to be amazing.. just get a sim here it’s so easy. I’m excited for you. Japan is also amazing though.. one of my fav counties for sure

Thanks for the video. Can’t be that hard to go visit all those places, lol. Aren’t you on an extended holiday anyhow?

[@ProjectBangkok]

No and no

[@bigphill67]

thanks for sharing, yeah the urge and need for internet connection is to strong for me to wait 55 55, i used to have a sim years ago that i could use trip after trip just needed to keep it alive with credit and use within 9 months so could use again but they changed all the rules and you had to register your number so it was fazed out. i just normally get a tourist sim but might look different option cheers again

[@ProjectBangkok]

I used to be exactly like that. My logic on holiday was that it’s cheaper for 1 month here than it is in the UK so just didn’t care how much it was

[@medu1982]

Thank you!!! :)

[@daangs3161]

Excellent video. Do you keep a UK mobile number active? If I make the move I’ll need to keep mine but don’t want to maintain the contract. Can probably go on a cheap contract/PAYG but was wondering if there are any alternatives like porting the number to VOIP

Why would you “need” to keep the number.. you don’t need to.. just get rid and move on lol

Cheers, I called into AIS in T21 to buy the 3 MTH 500 baht package and they advised that it is unavailable at the moment. I went for the 6 MTH version 🙂

[@tbadj649]

Thanks for your video and thanks for your channel. I anticipate using a sim primarily to use Google maps while I"m walking around (so I can find places). I just use WhatsApp to text my friends/family back home in the U.S. , and LINE to text my friends in Thailand. I use hotel wifi when I'm inside the hotel. Given this fact pattern, would the 30day unlimited download plan be sufficient for me? I've never bought a sim card for traveling related purposes, so I don't know how calls/text/using google maps effects my sim card plan.

Thx for the video. Do you have the link to the AIS one year plan? couldn't find it on their website. Any help much appreciated

[@ProjectBangkok]

Just go to there store and see what they have

[@JShadow91]

are there alternatives to sim cards like portable pocket wifis? im planning to go to Bangkok end of October beginning of November

[@RedmondsVideos]

Might be a silly question, but if you buy the tourist SIM cards, can you change it to a monthly payment? I want a sim as soon as I arrive but I don’t want to be switching numbers constantly. That one year deal sounds great though

[@tamwilfred]

Last year I was in Thailand and I believe the AIS website mentioned that they might offer service through eSIM activation. Would it be possible to get service with an eSIM activation now? I'm not sure if eSIM has become more widely available since Apple made a big push for eSIMs in America last year with the iPhone 14. For Americans traveling to Thailand, I recommend getting an eSIM activation for a few days as a bridge. This way, when you land at the Thailand Airport, you will have immediate service. You can then use the internet to call a Grab Taxi and have a few days to go to a mall and get a SIM card for longer-term service.

[@DrewKassa]

Thanks for the great video, Is it posible to get a 1 year sim with a tourist visa as I have muliple trips to Thailand over the coming year?

[@ProjectBangkok]

Just need passport to purchase. Not visa
