Thai Sim Cards!

[paulnuek]

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to buy a Sim card in Bangkok Airport?

Yes, at some of the newsagent/convenience stores, for example the one near the "meeting point" near arrival term1. They'll charge you 500Bt for a prepaid Sim-card which sales for 200Bt elsewhere... However, 200Bt call-time recharge cards still only cost 200Bt there.

Thanks for the info.

I need to buy 2 as soon as I can,so it looks like I will just have to pay the 500Bt

There is at lest one 7/11 retail at the international airport. T2 near the parking areas if I remember correct.. I'm sure they have some sim cards there. Theres another one across the Vipavadhii on the railroad station, easily reached by the bridge from the int. airport.
