Becker Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'm going to Laos (Vientiane) for a couple of days. Will I be able to use either DTAC or AIS sim cards there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costas2008 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Yes, you will, but be careful, you will be charged an arm and a leg for any incoming or outgoing calls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 yes in Vientiane without roaming, but u go about 1 km from the river it will switch to a laos network and roaming charges set in. So keep an eye on ur screen. Where i stay near the river, my ais sim works fine for calls and internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Sata Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) As others have suggested the secret is to only use the phone near the waterfront. I switch mine off when I leave that area. These days I use my I-pad more than my phone and it saves me a fortune. Edited March 10, 2014 by Jay Sata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climb to the 3rd (or 4th?) floor roof top bar and get great reception on your Thai sim card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
