THAILAND ESIM FAQ

Everything clear before you connect

Which eSIM for Thailand is right for me?

Maew, from Airalo, is data only on the dtac 5G network, with per-GB or unlimited plans and unlimited hotspot; it is not rechargeable.

TukTuk, from Telefonía_MX, if you want a data-only eSIM on the Truemove 5G network, with per-GB plans, unlimited hotspot and recharge.

If your route includes more countries in Asia, a regional eSIM in eSIM for Asia. If you still have questions, Lia can help you choose.

Can I use my phone as a hotspot?

Yes. Maew includes an unlimited hotspot; TukTuk includes an unlimited hotspot.

Hotspot use counts against the data and terms of the plan you choose.

Should I choose unlimited or by GB?

Maew offers per-GB or unlimited plans and TukTuk offers per-GB plans. On unlimited plans from Maew with a daily high-speed allowance, once you use it you keep browsing at 384 Kbps until the next reset.

A per-GB plan is a better fit if your trip is long or you watch little video. Choose on each product page the plan that matches your days.

How much data do I need for my trip to Thailand?

For maps and messages over a few days, a small per-GB plan is usually enough. If you use social media and some video, a larger plan or an unlimited plan is a better fit, if the product page offers one. If you upload photos or video every day, unlimited is the more comfortable option when it is available.

Each product page lists the plans and their validity. If you still have questions, Lia can help you choose.

Which network does it use, and is there 5G?

Maew connects to dtac with 5G; TukTuk connects to Truemove with 5G. 5G depends on local coverage and on your phone being compatible; if 5G is not available, the network offers 4G where it is present.

It covers Thailand, including cities such as Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai, according to the product pages.

Can I recharge if I stay longer?

TukTuk is rechargeable: when the validity ends you can recharge from the link in your delivery email; you have up to 60 days to do so before the eSIM is deactivated.

Maew is not rechargeable: when the days or the data run out you buy a new eSIM. If your trip is long, choose a longer plan from the start.

When do I install my eSIM and how do I receive it?

You receive the QR instantly. Install it before you travel, on Wi-Fi: up to 90 days ahead with Maew and up to 60 days ahead with TukTuk. Installing does not start the validity; the days count from the first connection to a network in Thailand.

Your usual SIM can stay in the phone.

Does it work if I go to Bangkok or a nearby country?

Yes: if you are going to Bangkok, Phuket or Chiang Mai, that is in Thailand, and these eSIMs cover Thailand.

They do not cover other countries. If you also go to eSIM for Vietnam, eSIM for Cambodia and eSIM for Laos, see those collections. If your route crosses more countries, see the regional eSIMs in eSIM for Asia.
