What is the difference between a prepaid SIM card and a tourist SIM card in Thailand?

The main difference between a prepaid SIM card and a tourist SIM card in Thailand is price and flexibility. Prepaid (local) cards cost from 49 baht and provide more internet and minutes for the same money. For example, the Dtac 7-Eleven sim for 49 baht gives 33 GB for 7 days, while a tourist card for the same money often gives only 3-5 GB. In addition, prepaid tariffs can be changed at any time through the operator's app — there is no rigid binding to one package. The downside: you need a passport to buy, and the app interface is in English. Tourist SIM cards are easier to use (often with Russian-language support), but they are significantly more expensive and less profitable for trips longer than 7-10 days.
