Networks used by Bangkok eSIMs
Each plan connects to the networks listed on its page, so you choose your carrier before you buy. Coverage varies by area: a listed network does not guarantee signal everywhere.
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 Bangkok eSIM on MobiMatter costs $3.49 for 3 GB, valid for 7 days. Prices come live from 7 vetted providers and change often; the price on this page is the current one.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Bangkok?
For most tourists and business travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Bangkok plans start at $3.49 for 3 GB, and you install the eSIM before you fly, so you have data when you land, without queuing for a tourist SIM at the airport. 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, dtac, and True Move H. Every plan names its network, so you can choose the carrier you prefer before you buy.
Which eSIM is best for Bangkok?
Our best plan for Bangkok right now is 50 GB for 10 days at $9.99 from True. We rank plans on quality and value for money, and this one comes first in the list.
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 $4.99.
Do Bangkok eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
5G is available on 31 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 models sold in mainland China.
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.

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. A large share of that traffic is not single-destination tourism. It is the modern version of the Banana Pancake Trail, where travelers land in Singapore, island-hop through Bali, land in Bangkok, and finish along Vietnam's coast in Da Nang, all inside one trip. The route has existed for decades, but the way tra...
