Phuket eSIM plans
Phuket International is on the north of the island, 45 minutes from Patong and an hour from Kata and Karon, and a pre-booked Grab or airport bus is far easier with data than the taxi touts. Coverage is good along the west-coast beaches and in Phuket Town; it thins on boat trips to Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay.
The cheapest Phuket eSIM is $1.10 for 500 MB · 7 days; unlimited data costs $1.38 a day (the first 500 MB each day at high speed, then 512 Kbps under the fair use policy). Plans run on TrueMove H, DTAC, AIS and more, with 5G. Prices checked 9 November 2026.

Phuket eSIM questions
How much does an eSIM for Phuket cost?

Will my eSIM work on boat trips from Phuket?
Near the coast and on the larger islands yes; in open water between Phuket and Phi Phi or the Similans the signal drops on any network. Download what you need before boarding.
Is a Thailand eSIM enough for Phuket and Krabi together?
Yes. Both are on the same Thai networks and a Thailand plan covers the whole country, ferries included near shore.
