JThai Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hey guys, Brand new here. Need advice. I'll be staying for 60 days in the Asoke area and I really need to make sure I can stay connected to the internet so I want to make sure that I have LTE service to fall back on should the hotel internet go down. From what I gather True Move H is the prepaid sim to get for 4G but I'm so confused on how to actually get my hands on one. In the past every sim I try to get at the airport they always tell me the one I want is not sold there and sell something different. What is the best prepaid sim for LTE in BKK near Asoke? Can you give me a URL or the exact name to ask for? Where can I actually purchase this sim? Can I keep this sim working for 60 days? It would be nice if I could keep the number for when I return a couple months later. Any things to look out for? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw25rw Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 There's a True shop near the cinema in Terminal 21. Good luck getting 4G coverage though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll worry about that part later, I just want to get the actual 4G sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw25rw Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Maybe they have expanded it rapidly, but I heard it was limited to around Siam Square area.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
build6 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'm not sure true is your only option. I'm happy with dtac, and when I'm at the asok area (eg eating in terminal 21) I get LTE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pd2002 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) I think TRUEMOVE-H 4G LTE coverage in Bangkok is now 90% already. Edited September 3, 2014 by pd2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namarupa Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 What type of mobile phone do you have? I have an iPhone 5 purchased in Canada. I went to Terminal 21 and the True Move shop on the 6th floor (I live at Asoke). I got the 4G sim but because my iPhone is from Canada I cannot use the 4G network here in Thailand- that is what the shop told me. That said, the 3G service on my 4G sim is fast and reliable.
