I'm leaving for Seoul for a week, and just wanted to know: when ya'll go to other asian countries, have you found it better to ask your cell phone company for international data, or do you prefer buying a SIM card every time you land?

I'm asking because my last trip home (maybe expensive because it's America) AIS made me pay like 1k or something for international data.

I'm wondering if this time around, I should just buy a SIM card in Korea. Can anyone share any advice on which is cheaper?

Thanks

fwiw i tried the esim route last time i went to japan and it was way smoother than swapping physical sims. no fumbling with tiny trays in the airport. airalo or nomad esim are like 300-400 baht for a week in korea, way less than what AIS charges for roaming. just make sure your phone is unlocked first.

also if u land at incheon they have those sim vending machines near the baggage claim. i think it was like 30,000 won for 7 days unlimited data when i checked last year. either option beats paying AIS 1k baht for sure

honestly you could just google this instead of making a post. yeah AIS overcharges like hell for roaming, 1k baht for a week in america is a ripoff. just grab a local sim at incheon airport when u land, itll cost like 500 won

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
