eSIM for Bangkok

Your days start when you land, not when you pay

Bangkok is the arrival point for most of Southeast Asia, and the first hour is the one that needs data most: working out which airport train to take, showing a driver an address written in Thai, checking which of three similarly named hostels you actually booked.

In the city you will lean on ride-hailing, transliterated map searches and QR menus. Bangkok is also where most travellers plan the next leg — a night train south, a flight to an island — and that planning happens on a phone.

This is an eSIM for Thailand. It works everywhere in the country, Bangkok included — there is no Bangkok-only plan, and you would not want one. See all Thailand plans

FAQs for your travel eSIM

Is this eSIM only for Bangkok?

No. It is an eSIM for Thailand, and it works across the whole country, Bangkok included. That is deliberate: plans are sold per country, so you stay connected when you leave Bangkok instead of losing data at the edge of town.

Will my phone work with the Bangkok eSIM?

Any eSIM-compatible phone bought in the last few years (iPhone XS or newer, Pixel 3 or newer, recent Samsung Galaxy, etc.) works with our Bangkok travel eSIM. Use our compatibility checker if you are unsure.

When does the Bangkok eSIM start counting?

Validity starts the moment your travel eSIM connects to a network in Bangkok, not when you buy it. You can install it before your trip without losing days.

Do I keep my regular number while using the Bangkok eSIM?

Yes. Your physical SIM stays active for calls and SMS on your normal number. The Bangkok eSIM only handles mobile data, so WhatsApp, maps and apps all run on your eSIM data.

Can I tether or use a hotspot in Bangkok?

Yes, every Bangkok eSIM plan allows tethering and personal hotspot, so you can share your eSIM data with a laptop or another device.

What happens if I run out of eSIM data in Bangkok?

Top it up from your account: open the eSIM and tap Top up. The extra data is added to the same eSIM — no new QR to scan and no shop to visit. If your plan doesn't support top-ups or has already expired, buy a new Bangkok plan instead.

Is the Bangkok eSIM refundable?

If you haven't installed your eSIM (installing means scanning the QR) or activated it, and the plan hasn't expired, we refund it in full: contact support with your order number. Once it is installed or activated it can't be refunded because you changed your mind — but if it isn't working, contact us and we'll sort it out.
