Getting connected on arrival
Local SIM cards are available at the airport and in towns from major providers, usually requiring your passport for registration. Prepaid data packages are generally affordable and easy to top up.
Choosing a provider
Coverage can vary by region, particularly in remote hill country or national park areas, so ask locally which network works best if you are heading somewhere off the main routes.
Wi-Fi availability
Most hotels, guesthouses and cafes in tourist areas offer Wi-Fi, though speed and reliability can vary, especially outside major towns.
Staying connected for work
If you need reliable connectivity for calls or video meetings, test your SIM and Wi-Fi setup early in your trip and keep a backup data package in reserve for remote days.
