What/where is recommended to buy? We don't need some expensive, huge data allowance, phone calls etc.

Thanks
Theres a couple of ways to get a sim/mifi

1) get it before the trip (I got my AIS sim2fly on Amazon), activate it when you land
2) preorder it, delivered to your hotel
3) preorder it to airport post office, can pick up when you land (I did Bmobile sim this way)
4) preorder it , pickup at some airport counter/store
5) find an airport store/kiosk/vending machine, buy from them

I'm a fan of AIS sim2fly, because it can be reloaded/reused across multiple countries, pretty cheap and calls work too

I believe wamazing still offers free sim card with 500mb, pickup at a kix kiosk. Topup is more expensive
