Travel eSIM in Thailand
Thailand, with its blue skies, white sandy beaches, and azure seas. The only thing missing is some cheap data for your phone. With an eSIM, you get just that!
The installation is entirely digital without the need to swap your physical SIM card. At the same time, the eSIM functions as a secondary eSIM, meaning your regular number remains active and usable while you’re on vacation in Thailand. No need to look for physical prepaid cards, these eSIM cards work as electronic prepaid cards.

FAQ: How does an eSIM work in Thailand?
Is this a mobile subscription?
No, these eSIM cards are so-called prepaid digital SIM cards. This means that you pay a fixed amount for your eSIM in advance, and once the validity expires, the eSIM card automatically stops working.
However, this also implies that you cannot be charged more than what you initially paid for the eSIM.
Can I use my regular mobile subscription at the same time?
Yes. Since your eSIM card is installed as a secondary SIM card, you will still be able to use your regular physical SIM card. This is thanks to the eSIM operating as a dual-SIM.
Is there a KYC or required documentation?
Yes, by law all Thai mobile users need to show documentation in order to use the local cell network. For eSIM users the provider Airalo will take care of the registration process for you.
