Where is the best place to buy a sim card in Thailand for use during my 3 week stay? I presume it will be Pay as You Go and so how do I get top ups if I need them? How much might a sim card cost?

Thanks for your help - there were no mobile phones when I lived in LOS!!

Seven Eleven for cards and top up. Cost? can't really remember but about 500 baht with 300 baht credit sticks in my mind,

Sim card should be 50B, top ups from 7/11 for 300B - lasted me for 4 weeks.

with regards to getting a thai sim card, make sure before you go over that your mobile is open to all networks as sometimes the sim card dont work, but yes as everyone said previous 7/11 sell various ones

ooooh ! Anything you's like to share with us Ian ?

SIM cards are exceptionally cheap now. Suggest you get 12Call cards from 7/11. You can buy for various denominations but 300, 500 should do the trick. It is all really easy so don't worry.

I always used 12call previously,but used Dtac on my last visit-it was considerably cheaper and the coverage was constant,unlike 12call which had problems between 4pm-7pm.

Used to use 12call all the time, but find D-tac or Orange alot cheaper these days and no probs with coverage, you can buy either from most phone shops/malls etc and the tops up from everywhere, 7-eleven etc etc...........Mark.

Agreed and my T Mobile switches to DTAC/Orange automatically on arrival "Swampy" until I put the real Thai one in so obviously a tie up (excuse pun) but 7/11 way to go look forward to your trip report Ian
