eSIM Travel Tips for Bangkok
Install your eSIM before your flight from IGI, BOM, or BLR
IndiGo, Air India, Thai Airways, and Bangkok Airways fly from Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, and Kolkata to Bangkok. Install your HelloRoam Thailand eSIM at home before boarding. When you land at Suvarnabhumi, AIS or True Move H activates immediately. Book Grab and navigate to your hotel from the arrivals hall without queuing at a SIM counter.
Keep your Jio or Airtel SIM for calls from India
On a dual-SIM phone, keep your Jio, Airtel, or Vi SIM active for family calls from India. Set HelloRoam as your data line. You stay reachable on your Indian number without paying heavy roaming charges on your home carrier.
Grab is the best ride app in Bangkok
Grab operates across Bangkok for rides, food delivery, and parcel services. It requires a live data connection for bookings. Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps you connected for Grab from Suvarnabhumi Airport through your entire stay.
Download offline maps for Bangkok's back lanes
Bangkok's temple complexes, markets, and river areas have excellent 4G coverage outdoors. Some very narrow back alleys and older building basements can have weaker signal. Download a Google Maps offline area of Bangkok before exploring smaller neighbourhoods.
Thai e-visa is available for Indian passport holders

Bangkok eSIM vs local Thai SIM vs Jio/Airtel roaming

| Details | Plans start at ₹332.16. Buy online before your flight from Delhi or Mumbai. Scan the QR code at home and land at Suvarnabhumi already connected.

Best time to visit Bangkok from India
November through February is the best period, with temperatures around 25C to 32C and low humidity. This is peak tourist season. March and April are hot and dry. April brings the Thai New Year (Songkran) water festival, a popular event for Indian travellers. May through October is the monsoon season with heavy afternoon rains, but prices are lower and crowds are smaller. Bangkok remains fully operational during the monsoon, with indoor attractions and covered markets easily accessible.
Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is Bangkok's main international gateway. It has 4G and 5G coverage throughout the terminal, concourses, arrivals hall, and transit hotel. The Airport Rail Link directly connects Suvarnabhumi to central Bangkok.
Don Mueang Airport (DMK) for low-cost carriers also has 4G throughout its terminals.
BTS Skytrain (Sukhumvit and Silom lines) has outdoor 4G and 5G at all elevated stations. MRT Blue and Purple lines have 4G at stations. The BRT and bus network have outdoor coverage on all routes. Grab and Bolt rideshare apps work throughout the city.
Indian travellers should activate their eSIM before the flight so navigation and ride-hailing apps work on arrival.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
