Interesting giveaway of a free SIM when you land in Thailand. There is only enough credit for about a one-minute international call, but of course you just add more credit and keep using the SIM throughout your trip.
Why do we post if we sell the Talk Abroad international SIM and promote the single country SIMs sold by Cellular Abroad (click here for their SIM for Thailand)?
First, because we want our customers to make the best decision for their trip and their needs. And second, because an international SIM is still useful for when you travel to more than one country, which many travelers do when flying all the way to Thailand.
Also, it’s still advantageous for some to pay a little more for a SIM in the states if you need your phone number in advance, want to hit the ground running and want operating instructions in English (and customer support in English with the Talk Abroad).
And for some tourist to Thailand, take advantage of the free SIM offer described below!
Thailand tourism woos industry, travellers with tax-breaks, freebies
Phuket, June 19 (IANS) In a bid to promote direct flights to its tourist hubs, Thailand is providing tax breaks to airlines to attract more flights to these areas and freebies to passengers like complimentary SIM cards.
“Our plan is to promote direct travel to regional tourist hubs like Phuket. Earlier, travellers had to stop at major cities like Bangkok to come to a place like Phuket,” Bangornrat Chinaprayoon, director of Tourism Authority of Thailand, told IANS in this southern island province of Thailand.
According to Chinaprayoon, the programme under which incentives are being churned out was started in late 2010 and has resulted in substantial increase in tourist inflow in Phuket from countries like India, Indonesia and the Middle East.
Last year, 30,000 Indians visited Phuket, while Thailand as a whole received nearly a million tourists. Both figures were a 25 percent increase year-on-year.
Travellers arriving at the scenic Phuket International Airport can take a visa on arrival and get complimentary SIM cards which has enough balance to make an international call and talk for a minute. It can then be recharged for a bigger amount.
