Thai SIM with internet?

[Pleng]

Indeed. All the carriers have booths all pretty much lined up in a row, Thai style.

Great! Thanks a lot again for the great advice!

.....Regarding True, they don't have the same coverage as AIS. Probably OK for touristy areas, but Mrs BB uses True, and she was like somebody who'd had her arm cut off during a recent trip to deepest Isaan.

I've noticed there is a groundswell of support with Thai people concerning TRUE. They're the only Thai owned mobile/internet company, although now the Chinese have 40 some odd % I think. They also advertise more than any others, of course on their own TV system, and I don't think they accept advertising from AIS or DTAC. How strange is that!? Pete

If you are 1 to Call, dial *777*731# then press 'call' You will then get a message saying it's activated.

The cost is 69 Bt for unlimited 7 day access.

I notice nobody has commented on the above system. As said my daughters use it all the time and gives you unlimited access regardless of where you are. You can even make yourself a 'hotspot' so your mate (within a few metres if your phone has the capability) can use it.

If you are going for huge downloads, then it's probably not ideal. But for normal internet use, it's a bargain.

Sorry HHTel, didn't realise you were looking for a comment - it does what it says on the tin.

One of my son's ex girlfriends used it quite frequently (I think there's a daily package for under 20 Baht also). She had no complaints with the system.

I sincerely hope that their service is better than both the TV system, and the revolting, mind numbing advertisements that they broadcast!

What service? That is exactly what this company perhaps should be looking for, but I doubt they ever will find it!
