Is there an ESim only option in Thailand for Smartphone access to the Internet?

Hi Members.

 

As mobileWhen visiting Thailand, I would usually purchase a Mobile Sim/Plan for my Smartphone needs for the duration of my visit.

 

I've found I rarely need a Mobile Number to be allocated as I can get by with EMail, LINE Moblie, & similar services.

 

Is there an ESim only, minus a phone number account which will cover me when I'm unable to access WiFi?

 

If there is, is this a cheaper option, and where is a good place to get one (e.g. 7/11 etc)?

 

thanks

If only using WIFI then you don’t need a SIM, but if you want “Data” then you’re going to need one. 
 

Depends on where you’re planning to travel but AIS is probably the safest bet, bought 2 for Mum & Dad when they visited in Feb, IIRC it was 50B (each) for the SIM card & I topped up 200B (each) which was more than enough for their 30 day stay (given most places have WIFI).

It would be helpful if you stated how long you plan to be in country and how much data you typically use… The big carriers have tourist esims but will be relatively expensive, little data and short duration….
