I bought the Airalo Dtac eSIM for Thailand, $9.90 for 50 GB for 10 days, no passport registration needed.

But only AFTER I bought or installed it, they notify you that it's max speed is 15 Mbps down for a certain promotional period.

Up in my hotel room on the 12th floor, it doesn't even get that speed and shows 3G.

Well can't complain about the price. The hotel wifi, speed is good but they're blocking all VPN, both my OpenVPN back to my router and SurfShark.

Segmenting by speed seems pretty common among Thai carriers so while Airalo is convenient and cheap for Thailand, all that data for slow speed may not work for many people.

Buyer beware.
