Humid, vibrant, and home to spectacular landscapes, diving, and local cuisine, there are more than a few reasons why so many people make a beeline for Thailand when it comes to Eastern vacations. From Bangkok to Koh Samui and Phuket, it’s a paradise destination absolutely packed with things for adventurers and sunbathers alike to do.

And yet, when you travel to somewhere like Thailand, where you’re probably keen to leave the trappings of everyday life behind, you might not be thinking too much about the data you’re going to use while you’re out there. And yet, believe it or not, you’ll probably be booting up your phone more than you anticipate!

It’s why we always encourage Thailand tourists to make sure they have a clear plan in place to set up an eSIM before they travel. There are plenty of reasons why, and we’ll cover them shortly - but first, let’s take a moment to look at why Thailand is such a beloved bucket-list destination.

Reasons to Visit Thailand… As if You Needed Them!

Many people flock to Thailand for the amazing beaches, scenic views, and unbeatable cuisine. There’s a reason why so many Thai restaurants have popped up in the West over the past few decades. But, ultimately, you really cannot beat the food and drink you’ll experience when you’re actually touring Thailand itself.

As well as being a fabulous hotspot for diving and sunbathing, Thailand has a fabulous reputation for playing host to some natural and architectural marvels that you’ll be grabbing your phone to capture. From sacred temple grounds like the Wat Arun and the Grand Palace complex, to the waterfalls of Chiang Mai and Krabi’s natural springs, there’s tons out here to see and share with your loved ones (hence why you’ll need plenty of data when you travel!).

And then, you’ve got Bangkok’s world-famous street scenes, packed with all that famous cuisine and local marketplaces that are truly unique to the capital. Thailand has tons to offer beyond the beaches, but even if you’re just getting out here to soak up the sun, we really can’t blame you!

Regardless of Why You Go… You’ll Need an eSIM

Think about how much you use your phone right now. For browsing, shopping, chatting, sharing videos - you name it, chances are, you probably spend a few hours each day on your device. Now, it’s easy to assume you’ll put those habits aside when you go on holiday, but think about all the fantastic things you’ll want to share with people back home!

If you’re a social media butterfly, then you’ll also want a stock of data to ensure you can keep uploading, streaming, and tagging. With a SIMOVO Thailand eSIM, you pay for the data coverage you need upfront, meaning there will be no nasty bill-related surprises when you get back home.

You’ll soon find that you’ll need access to the internet even if you’re spending most of the time enjoying the sights and sounds. Buying an eSIM is the quickest and easiest way to make sure you’re completely connected from the moment you touch down to the second you fly back home again.

Reasons Why Thai eSIMs are Must-Haves

If you’ve been to Thailand before and have struggled to find a reliable data connection that doesn’t cost the Earth, you’ll already know why eSIMs are so popular. With SIMOVO, you’re automatically connected to AIS, with up to 5G speeds and coverage, wherever you travel nationwide (though do allow some leeway if you’re adventuring somewhere remote!).

That means you won’t have to fuss around trying to find a reliable hotspot to connect to (which, sometimes, can be genuine security holes). It also means you don’t have to spend hours on your holiday queuing up for a temporary SIM that you’re not even sure will give you the coverage you want.

Plus, again, there’s costs. So many networks now will cover you for data in Thailand - but how many will do so at a fair price? Chances are, even if you add a booster to your usual plan, you’re still paying more than is reasonable, and you might even run out of the data you need before you get home.

On top of all that, eSIMs are helping to reduce carbon footprints all over the world. Those little pieces of plastic you pop in the back of your phone might not seem like much, but they all add up to thousands of tons of plastic waste every year.

Why SIMOVO’s the Best Choice for Thailand eSIMs

SIMOVO is an eSIM provider managed by genuine travellers - we want to help you cut down on expenses and hassle when you visit Thailand (and elsewhere in the world!). It’s why we guarantee you’ll always speak to human support if you ever need our help, and why our eSIM packages are some of the fairest priced across the industry.

With our standard Thailand eSIM, you can purchase between 1GB and 50GB of data to cover you between a week and 180 days, respectively. 

Alternatively, if you’re a self-confessed phone addict and know you’ll need more than a bit of data to cover your adventures, take advantage of our unlimited data eSIM for Thailand, giving you from 500MB to 3GB a day for up to 30 days, with your allowance resetting every 24 hours.

That means you can always switch your phone on each day knowing you’ll still be able to reach out to loved ones via WhatsApp, FaceTime, and all your favourite socials.

So - as far as we’re concerned, the choice is clear when it comes to Thai data coverage. Picking a SIMOVO eSIM means you’re instantly covered for the fastest and most reliable data connectivity available from local networks when you travel here.

Plus, you’ll never have to worry about getting cut off with an unlimited eSIM, and you can certainly head home relieved that your network won’t be throwing extreme charges at you!

Make a Thailand eSIM an essential part of your packing - don’t leave home until you’ve bought a data package that covers you for what you’ll need.
