Which Thailand SIM Card should I use on Thai railway lines?
Based on my personal travelling experience on the Thai railway lines, dtac and AIS seem to work better than other operators while the train is moving, especially in rural stretches of track or smaller towns. A red operator may be cheaper, but sometimes there is no network in rural stretches of track.
Does the Thailand SIM Card work at Padang Besar Railway Station (Malaysia)?
Yes, as Padang Besar Railway Station (Malaysia) is very close to the Thai border just meters away on 2 sides of the station. This also means that you need to watch out for accidental roaming if you are using a Malaysia SIM card or any other foreign SIM cards. You can change to a Thailand SIM card immediately at Padang Besar Railway Station (Malaysia) to use Thai data.
Does the Thailand SIM Card work throughout Thailand?
Yes, even in Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat provinces (including Su-ngai Kolok border town).
Does international roaming on a foreign SIM card work throughout Thailand?
Roaming does not work in Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat provinces (including Su-ngai Kolok border town) due to restrictions set by the Thai Government. You must have a Thailand SIM card to get data in Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat provinces (including Su-ngai Kolok border town). Your network provider may also not provide dtac or AIS network in Thailand, which means a lower level of data services when on a long distance train ride.
