Six plans compared

PlanCountriesDataTop-up
Europe Special333–50GBNo
Europe Special Unlimited33UnlimitedNo
Popular Europe373–100GBYes
Popular Europe Unlimited37UnlimitedYes
Best Europe+553–100GBYes
Orange (with a number)4920–200GBNo

When the data runs out, Europe Special keeps going at 384 kbps; the other GB plans stop. Orange is sold as 30-day plans and doesn't cover Turkey.

  • The five Vacay Plus plans start counting when you arrive in Europe, so you can install them in Thailand. They all allow hotspot sharing.
  • Orange starts counting as soon as you install it, so install it on the day you travel.
  • Every plan works in the UK, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Spain. Turkey is covered by every plan except Orange.
  • The networks: what the price doesn't tell you

    Europe Special is the cheapest, but in some countries it doesn't use the biggest network.

    CountryEurope SpecialPopular, Best+
    FranceBouygues, FreeBouygues, Free, Orange
    GermanyVodafone, O2Telekom, Vodafone, O2
    ItalyWindTre, IliadVodafone, Iliad
    SwitzerlandSwisscom, SunriseSunrise, Salt
    UKEE, O2EE, O2, Vodafone

    In the cities every network works well. The difference shows on country roads, in the mountains and in small villages, where Orange (France) and Telekom (Germany) reach further. In Switzerland it's the other way round: Europe Special gets Swisscom, the largest network there.

    Popular Europe costs ฿30 (≈ $0.99)–50 more than Europe Special, in exchange for the bigger networks in France and Germany and the option to top up. Europe Special can't be topped up, but when the data runs out it still sends messages at 384 kbps.

    For 30 days, Europe Special Unlimited is ฿1,809 (≈ $59.70) at 10 Mbps and ฿2,409 (≈ $79.50) at full speed.

    Until 31 Dec 2026 Vacay runs the full-speed option at full speed for the whole plan at the same price. After that it gives 5GB a day at full speed, then 10 Mbps.

    For most people, by the GB is better value: 20GB of Europe Special for 10 days is ฿399 (≈ $13.17), unlimited at 10 Mbps is ฿609 (≈ $20.10). Choose unlimited if you work on the trip, stream every day or share a hotspot with the family.

    For a stopover or 1–3 days in Europe, Europe Special Unlimited 10 Mbps is ฿69 (≈ $2.28) for 1 day and ฿209 (≈ $6.90) for 3.

    A Europe eSIM with a phone number: Orange

    All the Vacay Plus plans are data only. If you want to call restaurants, hotels or drivers, Orange Holiday Europe gives you a French (+33) number with unlimited calls in Europe, including the UK.

    30 daysOrange (number)Popular Europe
    20GB฿799≈ $26.37฿529≈ $17.46
    50GB฿1,399≈ $46.17฿1,129≈ $37.26
    100GB฿1,799≈ $59.37฿1,809≈ $59.70

    At 20GB and 50GB you pay about ฿270 (≈ $8.91) more for the number; at 100GB Orange is even cheaper. It doesn't cover Turkey, starts counting when installed, and doesn't work as a Vacay Card.

    Does a Europe eSIM cover the UK?

    Yes. All six plans here work in the UK, so London plus Paris, or Edinburgh plus Amsterdam, is one eSIM. Single-country plans such as Best France or Best Germany don't work in the UK.

    Phones without eSIM

    The five Vacay Plus Europe plans can be ordered as a Vacay Card: a physical SIM with the plan loaded, ฿50 (≈ $1.65) extra, delivered in Thailand in 2–5 days. Order at least a week before you fly. Orange doesn't support the Vacay Card.

    Which one for your trip

  • A tour of 3–4 countries, 7–10 days: Europe Special 10GB (฿189 (≈ $6.24) for 7 days, ฿199 (≈ $6.57) for 10)
  • Driving yourself through rural France or Germany: Popular Europe 20GB, for Orange and Telekom
  • A family sharing one phone's data: Europe Special Unlimited 10 Mbps
  • A month of study or work: Europe Special 30GB for 30 days (฿679 (≈ $22.41)), or Orange 100GB (฿1,799 (≈ $59.37)) for data plus a number
  • Before you buy

  • Roaming plans need Data Roaming turned on for the eSIM.
