Pre Paid Sim Cards

[crabstix]

I have 8 friends visiting Thailand. They will need sim cards for short term use (just 10 days or so). Once they buy a sim are they ready to use or do they need documents to register?

Short one this No.

No? To which question?

[A_Traveller]

OK... YES they are ready to use, and NO there is no registration requirement {The question asked in the sub header by the by}

thanks guys.

the reason why i asked was because l can recall that a few years back, registration was required. i dont know why they made such a rule in the 1st place. looks like they scrapped it.

The rule withered on the vine. originally the idea was to have a record of cell phone users. The reason for it that was given was (mis)use of the phones in the southern insurgency.
