Find the best eSIM for Thailand in 2026: compare tourist eSIM plans for Thailand, unlimited data and cheap prepaid Thailand eSIM cards for your trip.

Quick answer

I recommend eSIMGlobe as the best eSIM for Thailand for most trips, because it puts you on both of the country's big networks, and a month with 10 GB is $9.40. When you want unlimited data, go with Airalo at $21.00 for 7 days: Airalo tells you how much fast data you get each day, and eSIMGlobe's cheaper unlimited plan doesn't.

Your plane lands in Bangkok. While you wait for your bag, you want two things from your phone: a ride to the hotel and a message home that you've arrived. For that, the eSIM has to be on your phone before you fly, and a search for one brings up dozens of sellers whose plans look alike at first glance. They aren't. The real differences sit in the small print of each plan page, and a ferry halfway to the islands is a bad place to find them.

I read those pages for the eSIMs that sell Thailand, noted the networks each one uses and compared prices plan by plan. Below you'll find a pick for each kind of trip, plus the networks and 5G. You'll also see when a Thai SIM card makes more sense and answers to the questions travelers ask before they fly. That way you choose your eSIM at home. At the belt, your ride is already booked.

My picks

These five are my picks for Thailand, and you can compare their plans side by side with all five on one page.

Best eSIM for Thailand: 10 GB and 20 GB plans compared

My pick for the best eSIM for Thailand at both sizes is eSIMGlobe: its 10 GB plan costs $0.60 less than Nomad's, and 20 GB costs $14.50, $3.45 less than at Roamless.

Best unlimited data eSIM for Thailand: Airalo

Airalo is my pick for an unlimited data eSIM for Thailand, because its plan page states 5 GB a day at full speed. Saily gives the same daily amount for a cent less, but names no Thai network. Roamless and Jetpac slow to 1 Mbps after 3 GB a day.

Provider7 days30 daysFull speedSpeed after
eSIMGlobe$11.46$49.11"full speed", no amount stated"Speed Reduction: No"
Saily$20.99$48.995 GB a day1 Mbps
Airalo$21.00$49.005 GB a day1 Mbps
Ubigi$22.00$49.0025 GB in 7 days, 60 GB in 30 days2 Mbps
Holafly$27.50$73.90not statednot stated

eSIMGlobe's specs say "This is a full speed data plan." and "Speed Reduction: No". Still, eSIMGlobe's fair-use rules may limit plans sold as "Unlimited".

With a daily allowance, the speed drops to 1 Mbps once the day's full-speed data is used up, until the allowance comes back. Roamless sells 7 days for $20.58, and our code there is .

You work all day from a Bangkok hotel room and end it with an hour-long video call home. If the day's fast data runs out in the afternoon, that call runs at the slower speed. Messages still go through.

Ubigi has no daily allowance. Its 7-day plan gives 25 GB at full speed for the whole week, then slows to 2 Mbps. Over 30 days, Airalo's daily amount adds up to 150 GB at full speed, while Ubigi's 30-day plan gives 60 GB for the same $49.00.

Thailand eSIM reviews: my five picks

Nomad eSIM for Thailand: best for lots of data on a short trip

Nomad's Thailand eSIM plans page with prices in US dollars
© nomadesim.com, October 10, 2026

Pros

  • 50 GB for 10 days at $15.00
  • 1 GB costs $0.30 on that plan
  • Unlimited data for LINE and WhatsApp

Cons

  • No 20 GB plan for Thailand
  • 50 GB plan starts when installed
  • 50 GB plan: no add-ons, non-refundable

Nomad eSIM for Thailand suits a short trip with heavy data use, such as ten days of work on the laptop. For a longer stay, skip the big plan. It lasts only 10 days, and Nomad's 30-day plans fit a month better.

I recommend the 50 GB plan. It runs on True with 5G and hotspot, and it gives unlimited data for FB Messenger, LINE, WhatsApp, WeChat and KakaoTalk. Airalo's 50 GB plan costs $27.50, though it lasts 30 days.

With 50 GB, you know how much fast data you have. That's why I take it over Nomad's 10-day unlimited plan, which costs the same on sale: Nomad doesn't say how much of the unlimited data runs at full speed.

If the 50 GB runs out before day 10, you buy a new plan. Nomad also asks you to install its 50 GB and unlimited plans only after you arrive. Those plans start when you install the eSIM, even outside Thailand, or 60 days after purchase.

Join the Wi-Fi at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport and install the Nomad eSIM there, and the 10 days begin in Thailand, not on the way.

Nomad plans for Thailand

  • 1 GB for 7 days: $5.00
  • 3 GB for 30 days: $6.00
  • 5 GB for 30 days: $8.00
  • 10 GB for 30 days: $10.00
  • 50 GB for 10 days: $15.00
  • Unlimited for 10 days: $15.00, on sale

eSIMGlobe eSIM for Thailand: best for most trips

Esimglobe's Thailand eSIM plans page with prices in US dollars
© esimglobe.com, October 10, 2026

Pros

  • 20 GB for 30 days at $14.50
  • AIS and True, both with 5G
  • 180 days to start the plan

Cons

  • Data only, no phone number
  • Websites may see you in Hong Kong

For $9.40, eSIMGlobe gives you 10 GB for 30 days, and that's the plan I recommend for a trip of a few weeks. A single week fits the 5 GB plan at $6.90, and 20 GB costs $14.50 if you stream, back up photos to the cloud or share the hotspot.

The specs list 5G on both networks, and the 10 GB, 20 GB and unlimited plans all read "Hotspot: Yes". Skip eSIMGlobe if you need a phone number.

eSIMGlobe's specs list "Data Exit Country: Hong Kong". Your data reaches the internet through Hong Kong, so websites may think you're there.

Your eSIMGlobe plan starts on arrival in Thailand, and you have 180 days from purchase to start it. Two weeks into a month on the islands, your 10 GB may run low. The specs say "Top Up Available: Yes", so you add data and keep the same eSIM.

eSIMGlobe plans for Thailand

  • 1 GB for 7 days: $2.50
  • 3 GB for 30 days: $5.00
  • 5 GB for 30 days: $6.90
  • 10 GB for 30 days: $9.40
  • 20 GB for 30 days: $14.50
  • 50 GB for 180 days: $45.90
  • Unlimited at full speed: 7 days $11.46, 30 days $49.11

Airalo eSIM for Thailand: best unlimited data

Airalo's Thailand eSIM plans page with prices in US dollars
© airalo.com, October 10, 2026

Pros

  • 5 GB a day at full speed
  • Switches between True and AIS
  • No hotspot limit on unlimited plans
  • 365 days to start the plan

Cons

  • Data only, no phone number
  • 10 GB costs more than at other providers

Buy Airalo eSIM for Thailand for unlimited data. For a light trip, eSIMGlobe's 10 GB plan costs less than Airalo's $11.00. On a one-week trip, my recommendation is unlimited for 7 days at $21.00. Two weeks fit the 15-day plan at $39.00. A whole month costs $49.00.

Airalo says its Thailand eSIM "Covers the mainland and islands, including Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi and Phi Phi."

Proof: Airalo confirms its unlimited Thailand eSIM gives 5 GB a day at full speed and covers Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi and Phi Phi

Read it on Airalo's page

On Koh Samui, a beach day of photo uploads stays at full speed until the day's fast data is used up. When one network is weak, the Airalo eSIM "may switch between the following networks, based on availability and speed".

Airalo's unlimited plans set no limit on the hotspot or on the number of devices you connect. Airalo starts your plan when the eSIM connects to a network in Thailand, and you have 365 days from purchase to start it.

Airalo plans for Thailand

  • 1 GB for 3 days: $4.00
  • 5 GB for 30 days: $8.00
  • 10 GB for 30 days: $11.00
  • 20 GB for 30 days: $18.00
  • 50 GB for 30 days: $27.50
  • Unlimited (5 GB a day, then 1 Mbps): 3 days $9.50, 7 days $21.00, 15 days $39.00, 30 days $49.00

Saily eSIM for Thailand: best for calls and texts

© saily.com, October 10, 2026

Pros

  • US number with calls and texts
  • Minutes cover incoming calls too
  • Hotspot with no restrictions

Cons

  • US number price not shown
  • 10 GB costs more than at other providers

When a guesthouse owner wants a phone call, not a WhatsApp message, Saily lets you make one. You add a US phone number to the Saily app. Saily's technical details say calls work "with a minutes plan for Thailand" and SMS "with a Saily phone number and text message plan for Thailand".

Proof: Saily confirms calls and SMS with a Saily phone number on its Thailand eSIM
Proof of Saily eSIM with a phone number for Thailand from Saily's official site
Read it on Saily's page

My recommendation is 10 GB for 30 days at $10.99. Add the US number to it.

Saily names no operator, only "the best local network providers in Thailand", and its coverage line names Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai and Pattaya. Hotspot comes with "Unlimited access with no restrictions".

Saily plans start by themselves when you arrive. You have 180 days to start one. A top-up bought late at night waits and starts by itself once the first plan runs out.

Saily plans for Thailand

  • 1 GB for 7 days: $2.99
  • 3 GB for 30 days: $5.99
  • 5 GB for 30 days: $7.99
  • 10 GB for 30 days: $10.99
  • 20 GB for 30 days: $19.99
  • Unlimited (5 GB a day, then up to 1 Mbps): 5 days $14.99, 7 days $20.99, 10 days $30.99, 15 days $38.99, 20 days $43.99, 25 days $47.99, 30 days $48.99

Jetpac eSIM for Thailand: best with Vietnam and Cambodia

Jetpac's Thailand eSIM plans page with prices in US dollars
© jetpacglobal.com, October 10, 2026

Pros

  • Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia on one plan
  • Hotspot with no data limits
  • Grab and Maps free after data

Cons

  • No SMS and no phone number
  • Asia Pacific plan leaves out Laos

On a route through Vietnam and Cambodia, Jetpac's Asia Pacific eSIM keeps one plan working in all three countries. If Thailand is the only country on your trip, skip the regional plan: eSIMGlobe's 10 GB for 30 days costs $2.10 less than the 10 GB Jetpac eSIM for Thailand.

The plan I recommend is the Jetpac Asia Pacific eSIM, 10 GB for 30 days for 17 countries with Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia. Jetpac sells it at $19.99, 33% off its regular $30.00.

In Thailand, Jetpac runs on AIS. Its hotspot comes with the promise "Share your internet freely, no data limits, no restrictions". Jetpac is "Data roaming only, no SMS". For calls, Jetpac sells minutes in its app, from $1.99 for 5 minutes.

On any Jetpac pack of 3 GB and above, the Asia Pacific one included, WhatsApp chat, Uber, Grab and Google Maps keep working for free after the data runs out. Your data runs out at a bus station in Chiang Mai at 11 pm, and with Jetpac you can still order a ride and follow the map to your guesthouse.

Jetpac plans for Thailand

  • 3 GB for 1 day: $3.50
  • 5 GB for 30 days: $7.00
  • 10 GB for 30 days: $11.50
  • 20 GB for 30 days: $28.00
  • Asia Pacific, 10 GB for 30 days (17 countries): $19.99 (33% off, regular $30.00)

Does an eSIM work in Thailand? Networks and 5G

Yes, an eSIM works in Thailand. Travel eSIMs run on the two networks a traveler meets there, AIS and True, and most of them use both. A third name, dtac, now shares True's network: the True group says it completed its "One Network" project in 2025.

Jetpac stays on AIS alone, with no 5G listed, Holafly on True and dtac, which is one network now, and Nomad's 50 GB and unlimited plans on True.

The operator AIS says its "5G network now covers more than 95% of Thailand's population". Most of these eSIMs show 5G in Thailand.

eSIMGlobe says coverage "can vary around coastal routes, ferry transfers and smaller islands", and Roamless says "on the ferries out to Koh Tao or the Phi Phi islands the signal comes and goes".

On the long bus ride north or the ferry to a smaller island, you may lose the signal for a while. Load your boarding pass and the hotel address before the boat leaves the pier.

eSIM or a Thailand SIM card for tourists?

For most visits a travel eSIM beats a local SIM card in Thailand: a tourist SIM runs on one operator's network, while Airalo and eSIMGlobe use both AIS and True. AIS also asks you to "register your SIM card before use in Thailand". A travel eSIM like eSIMGlobe says "No ID required." A Thailand SIM card from AIS, True or dtac makes sense mainly when you want a Thai number.

True sells its tourist SIM and tourist eSIM at its service centers and around the clock at airports, says True's tourist SIM page. The AIS tourist page offers a tourist SIM for 1 to 60 days at AIS Shops and as an eSIM.

The full comparison of both is in eSIM vs SIM card for travel.

Best eSIM for Thailand and Vietnam, Cambodia or Malaysia

For Vietnam and Cambodia, take Jetpac's Asia Pacific plan. At $19.99, it costs $5.01 less than Airalo's Asia plan. Each of these regional plans gives 10 GB for 30 days, shown at its regular price:

Plan10 GB, 30 daysCountriesVietnamCambodiaLaos
Nomad Regional SG-MY-TH$15.003NoNoNo
Nomad APAC, 14 countries$21.0014YesNoNo
Airalo Asia$25.0018YesYesYes
Jetpac Asia Pacific$30.0017YesYesNo
Nomad APAC, 21 countries$31.0021YesYesYes

Laos isn't on Jetpac's list, and Nomad's Asia-Pacific plan for 14 countries skips Cambodia and Laos. For Laos, take Airalo's Asia plan or Nomad's Asia-Pacific plan for 21 countries. If your route adds only Malaysia and Singapore, Nomad's Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand plan covers all three countries for $15.00.

Our Asia eSIM plans page has the regional plans, and on our homepage you can pick every country of your route and see which plans cover all of them.

Verdict: the best eSIM for Thailand

In Bangkok and the big tourist towns, any of my five picks works for a normal trip. Outside them, on long rides north or on the smaller islands, take an eSIM card for Thailand that works on more than one network. Airalo, eSIMGlobe, Ubigi, Roamless and Nomad's 10 GB plan use both AIS and True.

For most trips, eSIMGlobe is the best eSIM for Thailand, because of my five picks, its 10 GB and 20 GB plans cost the least.

I recommend Airalo for unlimited data, because it names the two Thai networks it uses.

For a short trip with lots of data, go with Nomad, where 1 GB costs $0.30 on the 50 GB plan. Saily is my pick when you need calls and texts, with a US number. Jetpac keeps one plan working through Vietnam and Cambodia.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best eSIM for Bangkok?+

eSIMGlobe for a week in the city and Roamless for a stopover, because any Thailand plan covers Bangkok, so the plan depends on your trip. A week of Grab rides fits eSIMGlobe's 5 GB plan. For a night between flights, Roamless pay as you go charges only for the data you use. If you stream video every evening, an unlimited plan suits you better.

Is it worth getting an eSIM for Thailand?+

Yes, for most trips, because you buy the eSIM at home before the flight and connect to a Thai network when you land, with no SIM shop to find on arrival. A short stay fits a small plan: eSIMGlobe sells 3 GB for 30 days at $5.00, and if the eSIM doesn't work, eSIMGlobe promises "Instant activation or full refund".

Can I get a Thailand eSIM with a phone number?+

Yes, but only from a Thai operator: the AIS and True tourist eSIMs come with a Thai number. Of the travel eSIMs I recommend, only Saily adds a number, a US one for calls and texts. Roamless offers in-app calls from $0.01 a minute and a Roamless phone number for calls and SMS. LINE and WhatsApp calls work over data on any of them.

How much is an eSIM for Thailand?+

The eSIMs I recommend start at $2.50 for 1 GB for 7 days with eSIMGlobe, at prices checked on October 10, 2026. A week of unlimited data starts at $11.46, also with eSIMGlobe, and a month of Airalo unlimited costs $49.00. Their Thailand-only 10 GB plans for 30 days cost $11.50 or less.

Find the cheapest eSIM plan for Thailand

Can I get a Thailand eSIM for 60 or 90 days?+

Yes, though few Thailand plans last that long. eSIMGlobe sells 50 GB for 180 days at $45.90, and unlimited for 60 days at $98.22 or 90 days at $147.33. Roamless lets you choose unlimited for 1 to 90 days. Nomad, Airalo, Saily and Jetpac sell Thailand plans of up to 30 days, so on a longer stay you add a top-up or buy a second plan.

Will my phone work with a Thailand eSIM?+

Yes, if your phone supports eSIM and isn't locked to your home carrier. A locked phone can't use a travel eSIM from another provider, so ask your carrier to unlock it before the trip. Before you buy, check your brand and model: the phone's settings show an option to add an eSIM if it supports one.

This list isn't complete. If your model isn't here, check the phone's settings or dial *#06# to look for an EID.

Can I use a Thailand eSIM as a hotspot?+

Yes, every travel eSIM I recommend for Thailand allows hotspot, so your laptop can work on your phone's data. Holafly sets a limit: its Thailand page lets you share only 1 GB a day. Rules can still change from one plan to another at the same provider, so check the technical details of your plan before you buy.

How much data do I need for a week in Thailand?+

A light week of Google Maps and messages usually fits a 3 GB to 5 GB plan. With work calls every day or a laptop on the hotspot, you'll usually need 10 GB or an unlimited plan. Every eSIM I recommend lets you top up later if the data runs low, except Nomad's 50 GB plan, so you can start small. If you're not sure, the data calculator adds it up from your own habits.
