Hello fellow punters!

I will be in BKK on the 25th of December and beyond. I am an easy-going Californian. Early 40's. Planning to try the best soapies, oilies, clubs, Thermae, etc. My hotel is near Nana BTS if you want to meet for drink.

[Rahul2020]

Anyone in Bangkok during 28 - 31 Dec 2019. Like to meet for sightseeing and visiting clubs, fun looking together.

[Peter Gord]

Anybody in BKK 14-16 Dec. Dm me. Lets catch up over a drink. And its on me.

Hey,

[Feelz Good]

In Pattaya between 8-27th.

Not my first time navigating the city but I'm cool to meet a fellow monger for beer and exploring the bars / gogo's.

Cheers and safe banging.

I feel AIS is better and have had it directly locally and with roaming. My phone wasnt able to roam last time so got True for 800 THB one month 20 GB of data. I wasnt close in using all. Dual-sim is the way to go but new phone like Google and Iphone also have e-sim which might be available or should be soon.

Will any of the new phones have dual concurrent use e-SIM (or more than dual), or normal SIM plus concurrent e-SIM? The point is to use both at the same time at least to receive calls, even if receiving normal call maybe rare. E-SIM would not solve much if can only switch between them, only avoiding the hassle of manual switch over (replacement). I suspect will only allow one e-SIM at a time. Is handy though not having hassle to get a new nano-SIM for my new phone when my SIM was previously only micro-SIM size.

So e-SIM is good but does not replace Dual concurrent SIM phones.

20 GB is indeed vast overkill unless playing and downloading lots of video or making lots of video calls by Skype. I did expire 5 GB one month, using Skype video too often, or very large download data files for work. Skype tries to use as much bandwidth as it can get. LINE video is probably much more economical.

I used to have a True Land line home internet which was lousy. CAT was vastly better. I therefore am unlikely to ever buy any other True services. That is just a personal bias. AIS was O.K. for mobile phone but expensive for a fast service. Signal not good in all places. No signal in Soi Cowboy in the past. Obscured by buildings. ha ha. Meant the Mrs could not contact me.

Sorry just realised this is not the right thread.

Airport probably has booths selling deals for carriers DTAC, AIS, and True. I really don't know which is best. I use MyCat, probably not available at airport, because its cheaper. I paid a bit over 2000 Baht for 6 months use at 6 Mbps speed unlimited data. Slower speeds would be cheaper. You can get plans for just a couple of weeks I think.

Its best to have a Thai SIM card, that will handle your full couple of weeks and have internet data included. Use of web is vital to most of us. Google Maps to find something is important. Wifi in Hotels can be quite shitty some times, depending where you stay. I can always use my phone internet instead for my notebook computer. I use unlimited data so don't get a downgrade of speed regardless of my total usage, then you just pay an amount based on how fast you want the download speed to be. a sensible limited total data volume is also possible, if you are sure you wont use it all.

You can call forward your normal home number to your Thai phone number or forward to message bank. Cost of a forwarded call to Thailand will be a little bit high so don't talk very long. You decide based on whether you get a lot of home country calls or very few. I don't get a lot. Can leave a message specifying your Thai number for urgent things on your message bank service.

When I get a new smart phone, Huawei this year (dual SIM), I don't throw away my old phone (even battery is getting to a rather short life). So it can have my old home country SIM in there as well as Thai SIM and both can operate on 4 G. A dual SIM phone is very handy to me, and I have multiple phone handsets (not with intention to carry them all at the same time). They are not burners though since, I don't throw them away unless really inoperable. Having a completely separate "monger Phone" can be handy in case of snoopers into your normal phone.

Agree. Best to have Thai SIM card. I use DTAC prepaid with no issues. I'll add service to the card via website prior to leaving US. You'll need an unlocked phone as your us phone most likely is locked to a carrier. IPhones come unlocked from factory but check with your carrier to confirm so. Issue with single sim phone is you won't be getting calls from US so yes, maybe purchase a dual sim phone on Thailand if you plan on multiple visits.

Hey guys,

I'll be there my first time to Pattaya. Hope to hook up with some westerners to have some baht beer. Do you guys buy a phone there if staying for a couple weeks or just add to your existing phone service in the states? Need the phone really just for internet and apps.
