Mobile phones are an important device for communication when traveling abroad. To have a mobile phone signal, so that it is possible to use the Internet and make calls within the country, tourists must buy a SIM card in that country.
Thailand offers a variety of SIM cards for both short-term and long-term tourists. For example, in the case of staying in the country for less than a week, activating a SIM card and internet network at the airport is a convenient and time-saving option, as the counters of the network operators at the airport offer internet packages, calls, and messaging, which is perfect for short-term travelers.
Tourists who will stay in Thailand for a long time should contact the service provider's store directly to buy a package. Generally, purchasing a SIM card requires a user's passport, as it will be registered with their name and passport number.
There are three main mobile phone network operators in Thailand: AIS, DTAC, and TrueMove, offering daily, weekly and monthly packages.
Topping up a Thai SIM card is convenient and easy. This can be done at 7-Eleven shops and service provider stores nationwide. Users can check the balance and remaining time by dialing the code of each network and making a call.
Codes for checking balance and remaining days of each network are as follows:
AIS: *121#
DTAC: *101*9#
TrueMove H: #123#
Wireless internet connection is now available in many hotels, restaurants, and cafes at no extra charge for guests or customers, including free internet access within the airport.
