Two weeks, fewer transfersYour holiday window
Check your own school calendar before booking.
Leave room for the long journey
The official break lasts 16 calendar days, but those are not 16 days on location. Count both flight days and your real arrival and departure times before choosing 7, 14 or 30 days of data. Keep the first day light rather than booking a second transfer immediately.
Pick two bases, then add a third if it fits
For a 14-day example, start with Bangkok and choose one other base that fits your interests. Read our existing Thailand itinerary for ideas. Check the transport and seasonal conditions for your exact coast or island; this guide makes no sunshine or ferry-timetable promise.
Have data ready before the first taxi
Save the hotel address and provider instructions offline. Confirm the validity trigger before installing; some plans start earlier than first arrival. Keep your home number if you need verification messages and check hotspot rules before sharing with a laptop.

Planning estimate for one phone: 0.15, 0.5 or 1.5 GB/day, plus 20%, rounded up per stop. Hotspot use belongs in the same budget.
