Is an eSIM better than a physical SIM card for Songkran?

For most short-term visitors, an eSIM is more convenient than a physical SIM card for Songkran. You can install it before you fly, avoid queues at airport SIM counters, and keep your home SIM active for SMS verification while using local Thai data. There’s no risk of losing your physical SIM during the water fights, and you can often extend or switch plans directly from your phone. A physical SIM may still be useful if your device doesn’t support eSIM or you specifically need a Thai phone number for calls.
