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?

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

Regards

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.
