Ten minutes at home saves the SIM queue at the airport.

You need mobile data from the airport: Grab or Bolt, maps, and messages to your gym and your room. An eSIM is the easy way: you install it at home and it works when you land. An airport SIM works too, but means a queue and your passport.
On our rule of thumb, about 10 GB covers maps, rides, messages and some social media when your room has Wi-Fi (about 20 GB for a month). If you film training, stream, or use a hotspot, take unlimited.
Both sell Thailand data eSIMs. Airalo lists fixed lengths from 3 to 30 days with unlimited or fixed data. Yesim lists fixed data valid 30 days, or unlimited priced by the number of days you pick. Compare the price for your length on each page.
Fixed packages last up to 30 days. Both partners offer top-ups in their app, so you can add the next month before the first runs out. For two or three months, a Thai SIM from a phone shop (passport needed) is the other option once you are settled.

At home on Wi-Fi, a few days before you fly. Both partners tell you to install before the trip and connect when you arrive; check on the plan page when your days start counting.
