Do I need to unlock my phone before using a Thai SIM card?

Yes, it's essential to have your phone unlocked before getting a Thai SIM card. Most phones are locked to specific carriers, and an unlocked phone allows you to use any SIM card from local providers like AIS or TrueMove.

• If your phone is locked, you might want to check with your home carrier about unlocking it before your trip. This way, you can enjoy seamless connectivity as soon as you arrive in Phuket.

Allow extra time for traffic and weather. Confirm the specific service on the day, agree prices or use an app where practical, and keep screenshots of bookings and pickup details.
