Saily’s Thailand eSIM is one of its cheapest: $2.99 for 1 GB and $7.99 for 5 GB, and it keeps working when you leave Bangkok for Chiang Mai or the islands.
The catch: plans are data only, so you get no local phone number for calls or texts.
In Bangkok you’ll lean on data for Grab rides, maps around Sukhumvit and the markets, hotel bookings and translation. A Thailand eSIM gets you online at the airport without queueing for a SIM card.
