The BKK SIM Queue Trap
Physical SIM kiosks (AIS, DTAC, TrueMove) often mean:
- Exhausting queues at arrival Level 2.
- High "Tourist Special" prices that are often 2x higher.
- Mandatory passport scanning and personal data collection.
- Risk of losing your primary SIM card while swapping.
- Waiting for hours for manual activation.
