Local tips

  • A tourist SIM or eSIM costs about 300 to 600 baht in town against 1,199 at the airport; bring your passport.
  • Carry a Rabbit card for the BTS; the MRT Blue and Purple lines now take contactless bank cards.
  • Bangkok tap water meets WHO standards by the water authority's account, yet most residents drink bottled or filtered water.
