The Mobile Networks that Matter in Thailand

What is it with people moving to a new country and not purchasing a local SIM card? Do you really think you'll leave an easy and hassle-free life without one? Because the cold hard truth is you won't. You can rely on the internet all you want, but if a place you're going to doesn't have strong wifi, you have nothing. And when you make new friends in this new place you're in. How will you be able to communicate with them without a local SIM card? Here in Thailand, a local SIM card is practically essential. And these are the networks to go for.

 

AIS

As far as coverage is concerned, AIS beats them all. this telecommunications company has the biggest and widest scope out of all the mobile networks in Thailand. It's why it's extremely popular. Whether you're in a rural area that's relatively remote or luxuriating in a nice neighborhood in Bangkok, will get a strong signal with AIS. That's why it's the most recommended for those who spend their free time island-hopping in this Southeast Asian paradise. And, of course, there's their strong internet data offering. Wherever you are in Thailand, you can still log in with AIS and probably even work remotely as well.
