How to top up a Thai SIM card for a tourist from Russia?

A tourist from Russia can top up a Thai Prepaid SIM card in several simple ways:

1. Cash in stores: The easiest way is to go to the checkout at 7/11, Family Mart, Tesco Lotus, or Tops, say "top up" or "refill", show the phone number or the SIM card itself, and hand over the money. You will be understood without any problems.
2. Refill Card: Buy a card with denominations of 50, 100, 200 baht, etc., at the same stores. It has a hidden code that needs to be sent from the phone via SMS or USSD request.
3. Through the operator's app: By downloading the app (MyAIS, Dtac, TrueID) and registering the card, you can top up the balance within the app. Payment with a Russian card does not work.
4. On the operator's website: For example, on the Dtac website, but Russian UnionPay cards may not be accepted.

It is better to top up the balance as needed, after studying your tariff options, so as not to spend extra money. Managing the balance, changing tariffs, and connecting additional internet packages is most convenient through the official mobile app of your operator.
