Frequently Asked Questions
Can tourists get an eSIM for Bangkok?
Yes. You can buy a Thailand eSIM online before you fly, install it at home over Wi-Fi and have data as soon as you land at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang. Tourist SIMs and eSIMs from Thai carriers, sold at the airports and in shops, must be registered with your passport, which can mean a queue on arrival. The same plans work across Thailand, so a trip on to Chiang Mai, Phuket or the islands needs no second eSIM.

What is the cheapest eSIM for Bangkok?
The cheapest plan that works in Bangkok is a multi-country one: $3.49 for 3 GB, valid for 7 days. The cheapest plan for Bangkok alone is 5 GB for 15 days at $4.49. Prices come live from 7 vetted providers and change often.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Bangkok?
For most travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Bangkok plans start at $3.49 for 3 GB, and the longest lasts 365 days, which suits long stays and repeat visits. If your home plan already covers Bangkok at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do Bangkok eSIMs use?
Bangkok eSIMs on MobiMatter run on AIS, TrueMove H, and dtac; 5G plans are available on AIS, TrueMove H, and dtac. AIS carries the most plans. Each plan names its network, so you choose your carrier before you buy.
Which eSIM is best for Bangkok?
For Bangkok alone, our top plan right now is 50 GB for 10 days at $9.99 from True. If Bangkok is one stop of several, the top multi-country plan is 30 GB for 30 days at $14.99 from Three Hong Kong, covering 3 countries.
How much data do I need for a week in Bangkok?
It depends on how you use your phone. Light use (maps, messaging, browsing) takes about 0.5–1 GB a day; scrolling a lot of social video can take 2–3 GB or more. Typical use per hour:
- Instagram Reels, TikTok: 0.3–1 GB
- YouTube, Netflix at standard quality: 0.5–1 GB
- Video calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime): 0.5–1 GB
- Voice calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime Audio): 50–70 MB
- Maps and navigation: 2–6 MB
- Messaging and browsing: 50–150 MB
The cheapest Bangkok plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 5 GB for 15 days at $4.49.
Do Bangkok eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
5G is available on 36 plans for Bangkok, where the local network has 5G coverage; the others use 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a Bangkok eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Bangkok plans, are data-only and have no local number. You keep your usual number on your main SIM for calls, texts and WhatsApp. Plans that include a number or minutes say so on the plan page.
Will my phone work with a Bangkok eSIM?
Yes, if it supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. To check, dial *#06#: if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. Most iPhones from the XS/XR on, Galaxy S20 and later and Pixel 3 and later do, except most models sold in mainland China and some sold in Hong Kong and Macao.
Can I keep my own SIM and WhatsApp while using a Bangkok eSIM?
Yes. Your eSIM and your main SIM can be active at the same time. Use the eSIM for mobile data with data roaming on for that line, and turn data roaming off on your home SIM to avoid charges. WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number.

Since I started using MobiMatter, I have never once encountered a problem that they haven’t responded to almost immediately. I guess this is what sets them apart. Excellent customer service, very detailed troubleshooting instructions, and a support team that genuinely follows through until the issue is resolved. The app is easy to use, the eSIM installation process is straightforward, and the profes are competitive. Highly recommended for anyone who wants reliable connectivity while travelling.

The Ultimate Southeast Asia Hopper Guide: Travel Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore & Bali on One eSIM
Southeast Asia welcomed more than 198 million international visitors in 2025, a figure that surpassed pre-pandemic travel levels by 12 percent, according to recent backpacker travel data.
