Bangkok street food, island hopping in Phuket, temples in Chiang Mai: you will want maps, translation and ride-hailing the whole way. A GetSimfinity eSIM for Thailand gets you online the moment you land, with no airport SIM counter and no roaming bill.
Why use an eSIM in Thailand
Airport SIM desks work, but they cost time after a long flight and often sell fixed bundles. With an eSIM you choose the data and the days, install it from a QR code before you fly, and connect on arrival.
- Set up before you fly. Install on Wi-Fi at home and skip the arrivals queue.
- Keep your home number. Your regular SIM stays active for calls and verification codes while the eSIM carries your data.
- Plans sized to your trip. From a 1 GB, 7-day plan for a short stop to 30-day plans, plus daily Unlimited plans for 3 to 30 days.
- Good for island hopping. One plan covers Thailand, so you do not need a new SIM when you move between cities and islands.

Coverage varies by location, and remote islands and mountain areas can have weaker signal on any network. See the full range on the Thailand plans page.
Fixed data or Unlimited?
For most trips, a fixed-data plan is the better value. A 1 GB plan covers a week of maps, messaging and ride-hailing, and the 5 GB and 10 GB plans handle social media, photo uploads and video calls across a longer stay. The 20 GB plan suits remote work. Unlimited plans are sold by the day and make sense if you stream or share your connection. Check the plan page for fair-use details first.
How to install your Thailand eSIM

Do I get a Thai phone number?
These plans are data-only, so there is no local number or SMS. Use messaging apps for chat and keep your home SIM for your regular number.

Yes. The plans are for Thailand, so one eSIM works across Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai and the islands, subject to local signal.
Can I install it before I fly?
Yes, and it is the easiest route. Install on Wi-Fi at home, then switch to the eSIM for data when you land.
Can I add more data later?
Plans are rechargeable online where the plan page shows a top-up option.
