Thailand eSIM — 500MB for 7 Days
A week in Thailand moves fast: a morning at Wat Pho, an afternoon haggling at Chatuchak, a long-tail boat out to the Phi Phi Islands. The Monsoon Travellers 500MB / 7-Day Thailand eSIM keeps you oriented and reachable without racking up roaming charges. It's the ideal companion for travellers who lean on hotel and restaurant WiFi but want reliable mobile data for the gaps.

- 500MB high-speed data — valid for 7 days from first use

- 4G/LTE speeds on major Thai mobile networks
- Instant QR delivery — eSIM arrives in your inbox within minutes
Who This Plan Is For
Perfect for the first-time visitor doing the Bangkok–Chiang Mai–Phuket circuit, or a couple on a beach holiday at Koh Lanta who want enough data for ride-hailing, restaurant searches, and keeping family updated on WhatsApp. If you're comfortable jumping on guesthouse WiFi for heavier browsing, 500MB will see you through a full week comfortably.

How do I install my Thailand eSIM?
After purchase, you receive an email within minutes with an "Install eSIM" button — tap it to install directly to your phone.

Do I need a local SIM card for Thailand?
No. An eSIM replaces the need for a physical local SIM card. You keep your existing phone number on your primary SIM while using the eSIM for data in Thailand. There is no need to visit a local shop, show ID, or swap SIM cards. Your eSIM is delivered digitally and ready to use on arrival.
