Will your phone work in Phuket?
Earn ~10–15% per eSIMAll three Thai networks cover Phuket well; AIS has the fastest 5G and the best reach for viewpoints and boat trips to Phi Phi. An eSIM is the easy route — unlimited tourist data for about $8–12 for a week.
- • Fastest: AIS (best 5G & reach); True and dtac also fine.
- • eSIM tourist plans ~$8–12 for 7–10 days unlimited — set up before you fly.
- • Signal can dip on remote beaches / at sea — AIS holds up best.
- • Content angle: signal test at a viewpoint + on the Phi Phi boat.

🛡️ Safety & filming in Phuket
Phuket is safe for tourists; the biggest real danger is motorbike accidents, followed by classic tourist scams.
- • Motorbike crashes are the #1 risk — only ride if experienced and licensed; wear a helmet.
- • Avoid jet-ski damage scams and tuk-tuk overcharging — use Grab.
- • Watch drinks in Bangla Road nightlife; keep gear secure.
- • Strong sea currents on some beaches — check the warning flags before filming in the water.
🚁 Drone & filming rules
Thailand CAAT registration is required for all camera drones (even sub-250g), and since 2025 only after arrival (Thai SIM + arrival stamp). Don't fly over Patong crowds, Big Buddha or near the airport — but viewpoints and quiet beaches can be spectacular once registered.
Rules change — always confirm current local regulations before you fly.
