Two kinds of Hong Kong eSIM

All of these are 5G roaming plans. The difference is where they work and which Hong Kong networks they use.

A day trip to Macau by ferry or across the border to Shenzhen is common. If that's in your plan, buy China Hong Kong Macau: one eSIM, no swapping at the border. In mainland China it still opens Google and WhatsApp because it's a roaming plan; see China eSIM without a VPN.

China Hong Kong Macau฿199≈ $6.57฿219≈ $7.23฿239≈ $7.89

The two differ by only ฿10 (≈ $0.33) at every size. If you might go to Macau, buy China Hong Kong Macau and keep the option.

For normal use, by the GB is much cheaper than unlimited: 10GB for 5 days is ฿209 (≈ $6.90), unlimited at 10 Mbps is ฿379 (≈ $12.51).

10 Mbps is enough for maps, social media and video calls. China Hong Kong Macau's full-speed option gives 5GB a day at full speed, then 10 Mbps. Until 31 Dec 2026 Vacay runs Best Hong Kong Unlimited full speed at full speed for the whole plan at the same price. After that it works like the others: 5GB a day at full speed, then 10 Mbps.

Daily plans

China Hong Kong Macau Daily works in all three places and gives full-speed data up to a daily limit, then drops to 128 kbps, which is only enough for text messages. You can't top it up.

2GB฿69≈ $2.28฿109≈ $3.60฿139≈ $4.59฿179≈ $5.91

For 2 to 3 days, daily is the cheapest: 1GB a day for 3 days is ฿59 (≈ $1.95), less than Best Hong Kong 3GB for 3 days (฿79 (≈ $2.61)), and it works in Macau and China too.

Heavy data users: Mega Hong Kong

Vacay also sells Mega Hong Kong: 100GB for 7 days at ฿449 (≈ $14.82), usable in Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Read the catch before you buy:

  • Because it also covers Thailand, its days start counting as soon as you install it in Thailand. Install it on arrival in Hong Kong instead.
  • You can't check your balance or top up, and it doesn't include Macau.
  • The shortest plan is 7 days, so it isn't worth it for a 3 or 4-day trip.
  • Before you buy

  • Best Hong Kong and China Hong Kong Macau start counting when you arrive, so you can install them in Thailand before you fly (not Mega Hong Kong, as above).
  • All are roaming plans: turn on Data Roaming for the eSIM.
  • Google, WhatsApp and other foreign apps work normally in Hong Kong, no VPN needed.
  • They're data only, with no Hong Kong number. WhatsApp is widely used in Hong Kong for calls and messages.
  • Keep your Thai SIM on for bank codes: see how to get Thai bank OTP codes abroad.
  • New Vacay customers get 10% off with the code THAF-UCQY.
  • Not sure how much data you need? Try the data calculator.
  • See every length and buy on the Hong Kong eSIM comparison.

    US dollar prices use Vacay's rate (about ฿30.30 per $1, checked 12 Nov 2026), and buy buttons open Vacay in US dollars.
