Shoutout to the guy in Chiang Mai who showed me his phone plan trick

I was paying over $80 a month for international roaming until a fellow nomad at a cafe here showed me how to get a local eSIM with 30GB for just $12. It took about 10 minutes to set up and my connection has been perfect for video calls. Has anyone found a better deal for reliable data in Southeast Asia?

Seriously, that local eSIM trick is the only way to travel here now. I used to hunt for wifi like a maniac. The real pro move is getting a cheap backup SIM from a different provider, too. If you're going to a more remote island or up into the mountains, one network might drop out while the other still works. It costs like five extra bucks and saves you from ever being totally stuck.

Wait, can you even use two eSIMs at once on most phones? I thought you had to pick one to be active for data.
