Thumbs up for Krungsri then. But I guess you need to be in Thailand to change the number, go to a Krungsri branch? 

No. Online banking or telephone  support

So why do you comment here and only give false information? Thank you to @ClaytonSeymour , he is absolutely 100% correct! 

Report  people who give false information to get the information removed and the troll suspended

How are people getting SMS's sent to their Thai SIM while in another country?  Are you paying for expensive roaming packages or does it just work if you have the Thai SIM in your phone?

First, top up your account to say 500 baht. Use 10 baht top ups at a machine to increase expiry to 365 days.

 

Enable international roaming.  https://www.ais.th/roaming/en/register.html

 

Consider WiFi Calling.  https://www.ais.th/4g/vowifi/en/

 

No need for a package, unless you want one. Simply turn on your phone, get a signal (or use WiFi calling), then request an SMS OTP, it should come through. 

 

According to AIS's info:  https://www.ais.th/roaming/en/package.html

 

Receiving SMS while abroad is Free of Charge.

 

Sending an SMS from the U.S. to thl would be 9.63 baht.

Brilliant, thanks @mtls2005!  I've done all this except for WiFi calling which AIS doesn't support on my phone (Pixel 1).  That's really cool that OTP SMS's come through for free.
