getting a Sim Card at BKK

[jtiger]

I'll be arriving in a few days at BKK (Eva Airlines from Taipei) and I'd like to get a sim card for my phone before I leave the airport. I've never seen a store selling sim cards on the long walk from the gate through customs and then to the meeting area. Did I just miss the store?

 

I'd like to make some calls from the taxi or make some calls to find my driver if I get in late and he's not there.

HI if there is no shop there you can use a payphone to call your cab if your late,as for making calls in the cab just get him to pullover somewhere on the way and buy a sim card.Or you can use the cabbies phone he wont mind if you tip him,or just throw him a few baht for calls.

jtiger,

 

I think if you go up to the departure area after coming out of customs there may be places which might be able to fix you up. I recall spending a hour or so in that area killing time about 2 years ago. At the time I had not joined the mobile phone army so I am not sure if I am correct. But it should only take a minute or two to check it out.

There is a 7-11 located near the entrance from the terminal to the parking garage. Just ask somebody ....

Hi

What has this to do with airline deals

Thanks for all the good suggestions.

 

And to the person who asked, since this was an airport related question I felt it fit best fit in

this topic area.

there are fone kiosks when you walk out of arrivals but they are only interested in renting a mobile to you.

 

Go up to departures, far north end of term one before the escalators, there is a shop by the entrance going outside where i usually purchase a prepay card to top up b4 leaving los. Im sure they will sell the sim cards as well.
