HCMC: once you clear formalities, look left side for kiosk
Bkk: multiple providers at arrival hall, btw doors 5-7.

Each can be bought for as little as US$10-15 for data/txt/voice....there are dedicated threads for more details on various provider options.
My experience is with Vietnam. I would not buy my Sim at the airport because the price is usually quite high compared with buying in town. There is almost a store or a sidewalk stand selling sim card in every blocks of HCMC. You can start as low as 70000 VND iIRC.
