Getting a decent cell phone plan is one of the most crucial things a traveler should do when they are out and about. After all, everyone needs to make occasional phone calls to their family, and these calls can be very expensive. Additionally, you’ll need a few additional minutes on hand in case you lose contact with the rest of your tourist group—especially if you don’t speak the local language.

It’s nice that a 1-2-Call SIM card in Thailand comes with 60 call minutes. For an additional dollar, you may upgrade that bundle to include an hour of internet use, which you can use on your laptop after connecting it to your phone. Overall, the offer isn’t too bad, and it may be especially advantageous for travelers.
