🇹🇭 eSIM for Thailand
Thailand is a heavy-data destination: ride-hailing, island ferry bookings and translation all run through apps, and airport SIM counters charge a tourist premium for the convenience.

Practical notes for Thailand
- Coverage is strong in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and the main islands; remote areas are weaker.
- Ride-hailing apps are the standard way to avoid fare negotiation — they need a live connection.
- Daily plans usually beat fixed bundles here, because trips tend to be longer and usage is steady.
How to get connected
- Download Num and pick Thailand.
- Choose a plan and pay with Apple Pay.
- Scan the QR code the app gives you — Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM.
- Turn on data roaming for the Num line when you land.
Questions about Thailand
How much does an eSIM for Thailand cost?
Plans start at $1.14. The table on this page shows current prices — 14 options ranging from short trips to month-long stays. These are the prices you pay in the app; there are no separate activation or delivery fees.
Will my phone work with a Thailand eSIM?
Most iPhones from the XR and XS onward support eSIM, and the handset must be carrier-unlocked. Check the compatibility page for the full list before you buy.
When does the plan start counting down?
Validity begins when the eSIM first connects to a network in the coverage area, not when you buy it. You can install it before you travel and it will wait until you land.
Can I keep my normal number while using it?
Yes. The Num eSIM runs alongside your existing SIM, so calls and texts on your usual number keep working while data runs over the travel plan. Turn your normal line's data roaming off to avoid a roaming bill.
Can I add more data if I run out?
Yes — reloadable plans can be topped up from inside the app without buying a new eSIM or reinstalling anything.
