[bangkok post] The mobile operators Advanced Info Service (AIS) and DTAC are capitalising on skyrocketing mobile data demand as smartphone use becomes widespread by stepping up international roaming promotions. AIS has seen a 200% rise in mobile data traffic so far this year, said Weerachai Patcharopartwong, vice-president for international service.
The country's largest mobile operator is offering an unlimited data roaming package for customers travelling to five countries in Europe: England, Germany, the Czech Republic, Spain and Ireland.
Prepaid and postpaid customers can get unlimited access to the internet, chat, Facebook, photo uploads and e-mail while travelling to the five countries for 450 baht per day, or 1,300 baht for three days, and 2,000 baht for five days.
Second-ranked DTAC offers 25 megabytes in 30 top destinations in Europe, Asia and Australia for 299 baht per day.
