eSIM instead of a tourist SIM at the airport
- No queue at the airport after a long flight.
- Online as soon as the plane lands, including for booking a ride.
- Your home number stays active, for example for bank SMS.

Coverage is very good in cities and on popular islands such as Phuket, Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. On small islands and boat trips there can be gaps.
For a two- to three-week round trip, 10–20 GB is a good choice.
