[00:00.000 -> 00:02.000]  Thailand
[00:04.560 -> 00:11.360]  I just landed here at Bangkok International Airport BKK where most of the international and
[00:11.360 -> 00:17.280]  intercontinental flights arrive. And as you can see behind me is already talking about a tourist sim
[00:17.280 -> 00:21.360]  card for Thailand and this is what this video is all about. I'm going to show you everything you
[00:21.360 -> 00:27.200]  need to know for buying a prepaid sim card for Thailand here at Bangkok International Airport.
[00:27.200 -> 00:31.400]  I'm starting my video here because already in the plane I was offered this.
[00:31.400 -> 00:32.900]  It says free SIM card.
[00:32.900 -> 00:41.600]  So if you are flying with Thai Airways, you literally already get for free a SIM card for Thailand in the plane.
[00:41.600 -> 00:48.500]  And it says free SIM plus 8GB data. Is that really true? I will see when I land.
[00:48.500 -> 00:55.500]  It's great that you get a free sim card and it says actually yeah 8GB but don't be fooled it says not 8GB
[00:55.500 -> 01:01.000]  when you zoom in you can see it's actually only 20 MB but at least you get one you can put it in your phone
[01:01.000 -> 01:06.000]  but you still have to do the registration as As you can see, it is required.
[01:06.000 -> 01:08.000]  So yeah, is this a good start?
[01:08.000 -> 01:13.000]  No, I would not say, because if you say 8GB on the package and you don't give me 8GB,
[01:13.000 -> 01:14.000]  I'm annoyed.
[01:14.000 -> 01:17.000]  And I haven't even gone through Passport, I just came from the gate.
[01:17.000 -> 01:20.000]  But yeah, as you can see, this is how it looks when you arrive.
[01:20.000 -> 01:28.560]  There is an exchange office, and next to it it says already, buy a SIM card of the fastest and largest Thai 5G network.
[01:28.900 -> 01:29.440]  So let's see.
[01:31.640 -> 01:33.120]  Sorry, can I check?
[01:33.760 -> 01:34.460]  Thank you.
[01:36.020 -> 01:38.340]  These are the prices as you can see.
[01:38.340 -> 01:50.620]  So even before you go to passport control, you can already buy your prepaid SIM card from AIS, mobile internet provider here in Thailand yeah problem is only cash only so yeah maybe
[01:50.620 -> 01:56.520]  just go to passport control first and then get a sim card
[01:58.240 -> 02:00.900]  sorry
[02:01.120 -> 02:05.000]  still haven't been through passport control and here is the next one.
[02:05.000 -> 02:06.000]  It's called DTAC.
[02:06.000 -> 02:10.000]  That actually is the free package, the SIM card free package.
[02:10.000 -> 02:14.000]  I asked and they were like, yeah, no, it's only actually 20 megabytes.
[02:14.000 -> 02:15.000]  It's not 8 gigabytes.
[02:15.000 -> 02:19.000]  If you want 8 gigabytes, you have to pay 300 Thai Baht.
[02:19.000 -> 02:20.000]  It's not so much either.
[02:20.000 -> 02:24.000]  It's about 8 US dollar when I'm quickly counting.
[02:24.000 -> 02:27.880]  But yeah, the problem here again is, it's cash only.
[02:29.320 -> 02:30.900]  After you get your passport control,
[02:30.900 -> 02:35.120]  you end up in this huge baggage haul claim area.
[02:35.120 -> 02:37.860]  I came from Denpasar, I came from Bali.
[02:37.860 -> 02:40.500]  I just got my bag here at the baggage claim
[02:40.500 -> 02:43.540]  and as you can see, luggage belt eight behind.
[02:43.540 -> 02:46.300]  There is a TrueMove shop, there is a DTAC shop
[02:46.300 -> 02:52.000]  and there is an AIS shop and they also prepaid sim cards for Thailand for tourists. Let's hope
[02:52.000 -> 02:57.220]  you can actually pay by card here at one of them. Yeah a great place to buy your prepaid sim card
[02:57.220 -> 03:05.000]  for Thailand you would say but yeah it's all cash only and you think there are no ATMs? There is ATMs around the airport, no problem,
[03:05.000 -> 03:09.000]  but they make you pay 220 Thai Baht fee.
[03:09.000 -> 03:13.000]  That literally means 7 dollars, I think.
[03:13.000 -> 03:17.000]  It's a bit steep. I think it's ridiculous, to be honest,
[03:17.000 -> 03:19.000]  that they accept only cash.
[03:19.000 -> 03:21.000]  Yeah, what to do now?
[03:21.000 -> 03:23.000]  So yeah, you gotta make your own decision
[03:23.000 -> 03:28.220]  if you want to pay a steep fee of seven US dollars to get cash to buy a sim card that only
[03:28.220 -> 03:33.740]  cost seven US dollars and short summary about the package that they all sell so
[03:33.740 -> 03:38.800]  it's all a bit about the same so it's gonna cost you 300 Thai baht and then
[03:38.800 -> 03:42.680]  you get 8 gigabyte unlimited data and the unlimited data this is a little
[03:42.680 -> 03:45.340]  tricky one so it's not all at the
[03:45.340 -> 03:49.880]  same speed so some of them have higher speeds than the other so what I found
[03:49.880 -> 03:56.080]  from DTAC is that they actually have low data speed so only 10 Mbps which is
[03:56.080 -> 04:02.800]  basically 4G and they say it's 5G but yeah it's 4G and then TrueMove and
[04:02.800 -> 04:05.760]  AIS they actually offer a higher speed.
[04:05.760 -> 04:11.200]  So far DTAC, I would not choose as your prepaid SIM card for Thailand
[04:11.200 -> 04:15.440]  because simply the data speed is lower than the other two.
[04:17.440 -> 04:19.680]  And then five minutes later I am connected.
[04:19.680 -> 04:22.560]  I bought a DTEK Happy Tourist SIM.
[04:22.560 -> 04:24.880]  I said in the video before I don't recommend this.
[04:24.880 -> 04:30.400]  It's low data speed anyway. Yeah Yeah here we are in luggage belt. This is a luggage belt 11
[04:30.400 -> 04:33.920]  and there is a DTEK shop and you can actually buy a pre-paid SIM card here by
[04:33.920 -> 04:38.620]  credit card. So that's a huge difference from all the other ones. So yeah I bought
[04:38.620 -> 04:45.760]  it and I bought it's 300 Thai Baht you know. We're talking about 8 US dollars so I didn't
[04:45.760 -> 04:49.560]  want to lose the opportunity to get connected straight away here in Thailand
[04:49.560 -> 04:56.000]  yeah and it's you get unlimited data and this one it's very weird to me but they
[04:56.000 -> 05:00.900]  have complete different internet packages and prepaid SIM cards for
[05:00.900 -> 05:06.420]  Thailand than they have the Detect shop there or the Detect shop even before customs.
[05:06.420 -> 05:11.040]  But very important to me is that this prepaid SIM card for 300 Thai Baht for eight days,
[05:11.040 -> 05:17.640]  unlimited data, is at full speed. So it's at 100 Mbps. It's like 10 times faster than there. I know
[05:17.640 -> 05:22.160]  it gets a bit technical now, but I just want to show you what's the best prepaid SIM card with
[05:22.160 -> 05:25.760]  data you can buy here at Bangkok International Airport.
[05:25.760 -> 05:27.160]  And behind me is what it looks like
[05:27.160 -> 05:30.920]  when you come out into Bangkok Air Rifles Hall.
[05:30.920 -> 05:32.760]  Here, as you can see pretty much,
[05:32.760 -> 05:34.400]  here's all the flights that arrive.
[05:34.400 -> 05:36.620]  And yeah, first thing you see is a shop
[05:36.620 -> 05:39.200]  that sell prepaid SIM cards for Thailand.
[05:39.200 -> 05:41.180]  Here is the TrueMove shop.
[05:41.180 -> 05:43.600]  There is the AIS shop and the DTAC shop.
[05:43.600 -> 05:50.840]  And I checked for you, the prices are exactly the same as at the luggage bells and as even before customs.
[05:50.840 -> 05:58.160]  The great thing here is that you can pay everywhere by credit card and they open 24-7.
[05:58.160 -> 05:59.880]  So yeah, that's a great thing.
[05:59.880 -> 06:02.620]  So how to get connected when you travel to Thailand?
[06:02.620 -> 06:03.620]  It's very easy.
[06:03.620 -> 06:05.700]  Just buy a prepaid SIM card.
[06:05.700 -> 06:08.620]  However, if that all sounds too complicated,
[06:08.620 -> 06:10.720]  you can always buy an e-SIM card
[06:10.720 -> 06:13.960]  or an international SIM card for traveling to Thailand.
[06:13.960 -> 06:16.620]  Yeah, e-SIM cards are the way to stay connected
[06:16.620 -> 06:18.640]  when traveling abroad.
[06:18.640 -> 06:21.040]  I know, it's a very easy way to do it
[06:21.040 -> 06:23.280]  because you order online, you get a QR code,
[06:23.280 -> 06:27.040]  you apply the settings, and everything is done within just a couple minutes you save all the
[06:27.040 -> 06:30.660]  hassle from buying a prepaid sim card when you arrive in Thailand well what's
[06:30.660 -> 06:36.020]  the downside of it is that eSIM cards literally give you very little data
[06:36.020 -> 06:40.700]  compared to local prepaid sim cards so am i recommending an eSIM card well
[06:40.700 -> 06:44.360]  you've seen how cheap it is to stay connected here in Thailand how much data
[06:44.360 -> 06:49.120]  basically unlimited data you get when you buy a prepaid SIM card and eSIM
[06:49.120 -> 06:50.120]  cards.
[06:50.120 -> 06:53.600]  They give you only like 10 gigabyte for 20 US dollars.
[06:53.600 -> 06:56.680]  So like much higher prices, little data.
[06:56.680 -> 06:58.560]  But yeah, for some people it is enough.
[06:58.560 -> 07:02.540]  Anyway, no need to say that Travel TomTom recommends buying a local prepaid SIM card
[07:02.540 -> 07:03.540]  here in Thailand.
[07:03.540 -> 07:05.180]  I'm about to go to my Uber.
[07:05.580 -> 07:06.840]  Thank you for this video.
[07:06.980 -> 07:07.800]  Thank you for watching.
[07:08.280 -> 07:15.300]  I hope all my tips for buying a prepaid SIM card here in Thailand and Bangkok International Airport were helpful for your trip to Thailand.
[07:15.300 -> 07:19.040]  Rest me only one thing, and that is please like this video for my effort.
