Thailand Tips #18: AIS Mobile Phone SIM Special Promotions
April 18, 2009 by Vern · 2 Comments
When you get to Thailand you’ll probably get a SIM card for your mobile phone. You won’t know what rate you’re getting, but it’s probably, almost definitely less than ideal.
You’re probably paying 5 Thai Baht per minute for phone calls and per SMS.
Here’s a way to save a lot of money and get 1.5 baht per minute and 2 baht per SMS to any other mobile phone in Thailand, AIS, DTAC, TRUE, etc.
The coolest part of it is if you call between 2300 hours and 1700 hours you get an HOUR for 1.5 baht if you’re calling another AIS customer.
Here’s the link you’ll need:
AIS Promotions (English) >
Here’s the step by step screencapture video to walk you through it – because the AIS site changes from English to Thai when you try to sign up for a promotion. Don’t ask why – many of the Thai websites revert to Thai even though you choose English…

I don’t know if I mentioned the Thailand FAQ I did at my main site (Thaipulse.com) but a while back I decided to start pulling together a lot of different resources into one big page of links to help people that were trying to answer some questions about Thailand.
The result so far is here “Thailand FAQ“.
Here’s a special Thailand Snakes FAQ I just made.
If you have something to add, shoot me an email and tell me about whatever it is and I’ll add it if it fits.
Thanks,
Vern
