Roaming vs an eSIM for Phuket

Getting around Phuket with data

From booking longtail boats to Phi Phi or James Bond Island, to navigating Grab around Patong, Karon and Old Phuket Town, most of the island runs on apps that need live data. Maps also help with the winding coastal roads between beaches, and translation apps are handy at local markets and street-food stalls.

How much data does a Phuket trip need?

• Maps, Grab and messaging: about 300-500MB per day
• Social media and photos: add 500MB to 1GB per day
• Video calls or streaming: 1-2GB per hour

A short 3-7 day beach trip with normal use fits comfortably on a fixed-data or Unlimited Essential plan; choose Unlimited Plus if you expect to hotspot a laptop or stream often.
