  1. A few days ago I topped up my DTAC sim with 1000 THB using online top up in 7-11.

     

    Bought a 300 THB data package and when I checked in DTAC app today it says balance is only valid until August 4th 2024.

     

    Which is a bit of a bummer because I was planning to use rest of balance at end of 2024 when I plan to visit again.

     

    I was surprised because before balance appeared to be valid indefinitely, at least when using top up cards.

     

    Is there any useful way to spend the 762 THB balance I have? I heard about "DTAC pay", could I use that and where?

  2. Hi,

     

    I still have balance on my DTAC sim card and would like to buy a data package as soon as I arrive at the airport in Thailand.

     

    E.g. one of those packages:

     

    https://www.dtac.co.th/en/dtac-promotion/packages/internetmaxspeed.html?bnid=20150709590

     

    But how can I do this as long as I'm not connected to Internet yet?

     

    There used to be a way to type codes into the phone keyboard to achieve this, but I cannot find how.

     

    On that web page it says "Enter 10-digit phone number Request OTP code via SMS" but how can I access that page with no Internet ????

  3. Hi,

     

    currently in Europe and trying to access the DTAC website https://www.dtac.co.th/

    But it is soo slow, it is totally ridiculous, like 1 character shows per minute, no graphics.


    I also tried via VPN in Singapore, no dice.

     

    Just for comparison I tried AIS and TRUEMOVE sites, they work fine.

     

    This is at 30 minutes past midnight BKK time, I also tried around 10pm before.

    Is the DTAC website down today, or why else is it so slow? Does anybody know?

     

     

    Cheers, Farrol

  4. Hi guys,

    sorry for this vague question, I couldn't figure out the TrueMove web page.

    I would like to buy a TrueMove H SIM with unlimited data plan (3G), 1 GB/month highspeed + unlimited data at a lower speed would be fine.

    I will be in Thailand for 3 months and it would be great if I could extend the SIM's validity by a year so I can keep my phone number until my next visit to Thailand.

    Where in BKK should I buy this?

    And what is the best plan to get?

    Cheers, Farrol

  5. Hi all,

    I will spend about 2 weeks in Lamphun in December, visiting a Thai family and will be able to borrow a motorcycle and go around the place on my own.

    Any recommendations for 1 or 2 day trips / sights / places to stay around there?

    I speak a bit of Thai and don't mind at all to mingle with the locals.

    Cheers, Farrol
