Data SIM Card

Arriving at BKK airport in Bangkok, you have the best choice. The 3 major players have their flagship stores in the arrivals hall almost side by side. So you can check prices and compare promotions.

Main carriers:

  • AIS
  • dtac (DTAC is owned by Telenor both directly and indirectly, and both companies share the same logo)
  • TrueMove H

Checkout this extensive guide for all the carriers: http://prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Thailand

Power (Socket)

Communication

The national language is Thai but you can use English to get your way around the city.

A list of common words can be found at thai-language.com/ref/phrases
