Where to buy a SIM card in Thailand for a tourist?

You can buy a tourist SIM card in Thailand in several places:

1. At the airport upon arrival – this is the most convenient option. Operator counters (dtac, AIS, True) are located in the arrival areas. You immediately get working internet and can pay with cash baht or a bank card (Union Pay, Visa, Mastercard). Mir cards are not accepted.
2. In 7/11 or FamilyMart stores – the network of these stores is widespread everywhere. Ready-made packages with SIM cards are sold there.
3. From welcoming guides at the hotel or at tourist spots in resorts, but there may be a markup here.
4. Online on the trip.com website – this is a modern and advantageous way. You can buy either a physical SIM card with delivery or pickup at the airport, or an eSIM, paying with a Russian bank card. Prices start from 60 rubles.

Tip: if buying at the airport, try to choose a counter with a shorter queue, and decide on the operator and tariff in advance so as not to delay the group.
