  • SKT and LG U+ are local SIMs, unlimited and never slowed, but can't be topped up and don't work on iPads.
  • Every plan starts counting when you land in Korea, so you can install it in Thailand.
  • More detail in Korea eSIM: SKT, LG U+ or roaming.

    Where you're going

  • Seoul, Nami Island, theme parks: Best Korea 5GB or 10GB covers maps and social media.
  • Ski resorts in Gangwon (Yongpyong, High1, Vivaldi Park): they're in the mountains and busy at weekends. For several days at full speed, SKT Unlimited; for lighter use, Best Korea's two networks work well. Save the shuttle timetable and resort map before you head up.
  • Seoraksan and long bus rides: unlimited at 10 Mbps, so streaming on the road doesn't eat your data.
  • Your phone below zero

  • Batteries drain fast in the cold. Keep the phone in an inside pocket and carry a power bank.
  • Touchscreen gloves let you check the map without taking them off.
  • Screenshot your hotel address and the route back in case the battery runs low or the signal is slow on the mountain.
  • Google Maps doesn't navigate fully in Korea: download Naver Map or KakaoMap.
  • Before you buy

  • Plans must be activated within 60 days of purchase. Going over New Year? See New Year trip eSIMs.
  • 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.
  • See every length and buy on the Korea eSIM comparison.
