[randall]

HI

I am landing on Sunday morning and need a sim that is good for the internet for 3 weeks, as i need to use my phone for a sat nav, any one know what is the best sim for this?

Thanks

This might help, i use 12call, but you get what you pay for depending on how much your going to use

AIS have a deal giving loads of GB for 400 Baht....enough for a net nut like me.

I use DTAC. 299B and if you go over it is still fine for navigating. Using it for that now in Bangkok.

Let's move this to the Internet forum.

true

dtac

ais

all offer internet, compare them for the best package

[dddave]

There are kiosks for TRUE, AIS & DTAC in the arrivals hall at Suvarnabhumi Airport after you exit customs...very hard to miss them. All three offer attractive one month tourist packages in the B299 range.

AIS generally has the best voice coverage but TRUE has the only extensive 4G network (but not everywhere, especially in rural areas). 3g coverage about the same between the two though AIS's "3g-H" is pretty fast and reliable.. DTAC basically comes in third in most categories.

I'd say if you have a 4G phone, go with TRUE, 3G only; AIS.

3G = AIS

4G = TRUEMOVE-H

I am a long time post pay customer with AIS for my smartphone but for my tablet I use True prepay.

No matter what package you get, you can use add on packages, that go on top of your existing 3G / 4G package and give you additional high speed data. Great since you can just use as needed, and don't need to switch plans.

DTAC also have 4G in all major cities and towns now – not just in BKK.

I have both AIS and DTAC (AIS on iPad and DTAC on iPhone) and found DTAC to almost always have far better data speeds when compared at the same location at the same time. At times, I have scarcely had enough bandwidth to even do email at Suvarnabhumi with AIS, but DTAC was fast.

One caveat: AIS do have better coverage in more remote areas than do DTAC. That said, DTAC have fine coverage in most populated areas.

On some occasions/locations even in central bkk ais 3g is faster true 4g...

I've been running speed tests at random locations I go to normally and in malls etc ais had better download speeds but the 4g almost always wins the upload test, not that I need to upload much anyway when I'm outside

I got a flyer for ais fiber to the home and tried to order it as soon as I moved in but they told me the lines are not available in my area yet???

I wanted 20MB but they said the line can only support 13MB..... Take it or leave it, there's nothing else available in my area I think
