Coverage and networks

Since the merger of DTAC and TrueMove H, Thailand effectively has two major networks: AIS and True Corporation. AIS has the broadest geographic coverage and is usually the most reliable on the islands and in remote areas. True has strong 5G coverage in the big cities such as Bangkok. Networks: AIS, True, DTAC.

For a beach and city trip with navigation and social media, around 1 GB per day is enough. Those who video call or stream a lot from the hammock are better off choosing a larger package.

On smaller islands and at snorkelling spots, the signal can drop out; AIS usually has the best chance of reception there.

Frequently asked questions

Does an eSIM work in Thailand?

Yes. Our eSIM gives you instant mobile data in Thailand on the local networks, with no roaming fees. Your phone needs to support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked.

How much data do I need for Thailand?

It depends on your trip. For mostly maps and messaging, 1 to 3 GB is plenty. If you use navigation, social media and some streaming, plan for roughly 1 GB every two to three days.

How fast do I get my eSIM?

Right after payment. You receive a QR code on screen and by email immediately. It is best to install it at home over Wi-Fi before you leave.

Do I keep my own phone number?

Yes. Your own SIM stays in your phone for calls and texts. The eSIM runs alongside it, purely for mobile data in Thailand.

What is the cheapest eSIM for Thailand?

The cheapest eSIM for Thailand at esimzu starts from €1,99, with a lowest-price guarantee. You pay in euros by Bancontact, card or crypto and receive the eSIM instantly by QR code, with no app or physical SIM card.

Does my eSIM also work on the islands such as Koh Samui and Phuket?

Yes, on the larger tourist islands such as Phuket, Koh Samui and Krabi there is good coverage, usually via AIS. On smaller or remote islands the signal can weaken or sometimes drop out, especially at beaches far from the village centre.

What happened to DTAC in Thailand?

DTAC merged with TrueMove H to form True Corporation in 2023. The networks have since been combined, so anyone using DTAC or True coverage is on the same network. A travel eSIM automatically roams on the strongest available network.
