What the best SIM for short term use (both Internet and calls)? 

 

In the past I've always used AIS whenever I'm here on a visit which usually lasts 2-3 weeks at the moment due to the abysmal FX rate for the Euro. But maybe one of the others like DTAC or True are cheaper.

 

Also, does anyone know how much credit I need in order to keep the SIM active until the next time I come over. Maybe that's a better idea than having to pay 100 Baht each time for a new one.

SIM costs 49 to 69 baht, not 100.

 

Don't buy Tourist SIMs.

 

DTAC can cost as little as 2 baht per month to extend validity, once you've spent 200 baht or had the SIM for ninety days.

 

TRUE has a similar option.

 

AIS you can go to the 10 baht machines outside the likes of Family Mart and get 30 days validity per 10 baht top up.

 

We have no idea as to how much data you need.

I don't have that choice unfortunately. All tourists can only buy the type of SIM which enables tracking these days: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/thailand-plans-to-track-tourists-phones-using-special-sim-cards-a7182921.html

 

But thanks for the tips about costs.
