The Thailand eSIM is designed as a single-use eSIM and cannot be recharged or extended once it has been activated. If you need to extend your data connectivity beyond the initial duration, you will need to purchase a new eSIM for the desired duration.

The Thailand AIS eSIM Card is specifically designed for use in Thailand. It provides high-speed data connectivity within Thailand, allowing travelers to stay connected while visiting the country.

If you plan to travel to other countries, you may need to purchase a separate eSIM card or make alternative arrangements for connectivity in those destinations.

Your family and friends can call and message you on your Thai phone number with the prefix +66. (Please note that standard international call and text rates may apply depending on their Australian phone plan.)

If you are travelling for longer than the duration covered by the Thailand eSIM, you will need to purchase another eSIM for the additional days you need. This allows you to continue enjoying high-speed data connectivity during your extended stay in Thailand.
