Sim2Fly isn't the easiest to keep active if you don't have a Thai bank account. You have to go through third party top up services and the physical sims are usually registered to someone else if you get it outside Thailand via reseller. esim2fly is run by MobileTopup.com. Not sure if you need to provide a passport number to register it to you or if they register it to another person. The top up services can be finicky about which credit card verifications they'll accept
