Network and coverage
Your eSIM roams on whichever eligible local network gives the best signal: AWN, dtac, TrueMove H. Some plans include 5G where the network offers it.
Why travellers skip the local SIM in Thailand
Since 16 May 2026, Thai operators must check a passport for every SIM sold to a foreign visitor, and visitors can register at most three SIMs per operator. (Sources: Yozzo, Tilleke & Gibbins)
Kokio asks for no ID at all: you sign in with a passkey, and we never collect your name or email.
Kokio plans connect by roaming, so there is no local SIM to register.
Pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, or crypto (USDC, USDT or DAI from a Kokio Wallet on Base, or other coins via MoonPay). The plan price is the same whichever way you pay, because Kokio covers the payment processing fees.
Tips for Thailand
- A local SIM now means a passport check at the counter, so installing the eSIM at home lets you walk past the SIM desks at arrivals.
- Unlimited plans come in 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 and 30-day lengths. Pick the one that matches your trip rather than guessing how many GB you'll use.
- If the signal is weak where you are, choose another network by hand: on iPhone, Settings → Mobile Service → your Kokio line → Network Selection.
Setup
- Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi. It installs once only.
- Land at Suvarnabhumi (BKK) or Don Mueang (DMK).
- iPhone: Settings → Mobile Service → choose the Kokio line for mobile data, with data roaming on.
- Not connecting? Toggle Airplane Mode, then pick a network manually.
