What to know before you land

Thai SIMs are cheap at the airport but the language barrier on AIS and TrueMove kiosks plus topup-machine quirks burn an easy hour. A roamgo eSIM lets you bypass all of it — install before you fly, activate when you land at BKK or Phuket International.

Best for: Bangkok layovers, beach hops between Phuket / Krabi / Koh Samui, food tours through Chiang Mai, and island connections to Phi Phi or Koh Lanta.

Local tip: Cellular coverage on ferry rides between mainland piers and the smaller islands (Koh Tao, Koh Yao) drops to nothing for 30-90 minutes — pre-download maps and messages.

Install and activate safely

  1. Confirm that your phone is carrier-unlocked and supports eSIM.
  2. Install the QR code while you still have reliable Wi-Fi.
  3. Keep the eSIM switched off until the plan instructions say to activate it.
  4. On arrival, select the eSIM for mobile data and enable data roaming for that line if instructed.
  5. Keep your home SIM active only if you need calls or texts, and disable its data roaming.
