A speed test typically shows around 150Mbps download.

Thanks for the datapoint about the speeds.

Airalo offers a 10-day, 50 GB eSIM using DTAC network for $10 but it's not clear if it's "max speed."

The one advantage of going through Airalo seems to be that you don't have to take time to go and register your passport at a carrier store. I'm arriving at BKK just after midnight so picking it up at BKK probably isn't likely, so I'll have to hunt down a store in the city.
