The maximum prepaid expiry here for "standard" SIMs is 365/366 days; tourst-y SIMs may have a shorter expiry, like 90 days.

Most providers have a 90-day usage requirement, which may or may not be enforced.

There are many, many, many methods to extend expiry - all of which have been detailed within this thread multiple times. Individual top-ups, for as little as 10 baht each yield 30 days.

There are top-up machines everywhere, they are easy to use, and a 10 baht top-up costs 12 baht, so 144 baht for 360 days, with 120 baht credit.

DTAC does allow for expiry extension via USSD or IVR methods, with some "rules. This feature may be embedded in the DTAC app? Or available on the web-management portal?

DTAC Call is also an interesting app, offering WiFi calling and management of multiple numbers. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ac.wificalling

See "Day-Giveaway", essentially 2 baht fee for every 30 days.

TrueMove H used to have a similar scheme, Validity Extension Service for Prepaid Customers by TrueMove H TrueMove H ? Mobile Package, Devices, and Deals

AIS also has something similar (Mao Mao) but not really the same - +30 days with some calling credit.
