Government regulations have tightened significantly, blocking access to many familiar websites and apps — including YouTube, Google, WhatsApp, and Facebook — behind what’s known as the Great Firewall. In this context, travelers often face a tough decision: use a VPN to bypass censorship, or opt for an eSIM designed to provide unrestricted access legally. This guide explains the differences and helps you decide which option is safer and more practical for your trip.

VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) encrypt your internet traffic and route it through servers outside China, allowing access to blocked services. However, their legality, performance, and reliability are complicated.
 Legal status: Unauthorized VPN use is technically illegal unless the provider is approved by the government. Although enforcement on tourists is rare, fines ranging from 500 to over 15,000 yuan (~$70–$2,200) have been imposed,

Visiting Thailand in 2025? Whether you're exploring the buzzing streets of Bangkok, relaxing on Phuket’s beaches, or trekking through northern Chiang Mai, having solid mobile data is essential. Buying your Thailand eSIM online ahead of time is the smartest way to ensure connectivity from the moment you land. RORO eSIM offers a wide array of fixed and unlimited data plans that suit different travel lengths, data needs, and budgets. Here’s a guide to what’s available and how to choose wisely.

For travelers who want freedom from data caps (e.g. video streaming, live navigation, heavy social media usage), RORO offers unlimited data plans in Thailand. But “unlimited” with a caveat: there is a fair-use policy. The high-speed portion is capped (typically 3 GB/day) before speed throttling, which then resets the next day.

Some of the unlimited plan options include:
Unlimited for 2 days — US $8.00 
Unlimited for 5 days — US $17.00 
Unlimited for 7 days — US $25.00 
10, 20, up to 30 days unlimited

Traveling to Thailand in 2025 promises stunning beaches, vibrant cities, and rich culture. Staying connected is essential for navigating with Grab, translating Thai, and sharing your adventures on social media. Forget the hassle of hunting for physical SIM cards at the airport; an eSIM is the modern, instant solution. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the entire process, ensuring you're online the moment you land.

Step 2: Purchase Your Thailand eSIM Online
The best part about eSIMs is that you can buy them from anywhere in the world before your trip.
