Getting a local mobile phone plan is also easy, even you may order online and can get the prepaid SIM at the airport on your arrival in Thailand.
Five mobile operators are providing mobile services in Thailand and two MVNOs are operational also and selling mobile SIM cards by using the network of all these main mobile operators.
