East & Southeast Asia eSIM Guides

All 68 East and Southeast Asia guides in one index: 18 countries, 14 cities, 18 airports and the local SIM card options for each, grouped so you can plan a whole route rather than one stop.

Urban coverage here is the best on the site and the borders are what need attention. Mainland China sits behind a firewall, and a Hong Kong or Macau plan routes around it because the traffic breaks out elsewhere, which is the single most useful fact in this region. Across Southeast Asia the multi-country plans are usually better value than three single-country ones, though the plan names rarely tell you which countries are actually included.

Planning a route across East and Southeast Asia?

For mainland China, buy a plan that routes outside it rather than a VPN you have to keep working. For Southeast Asia, read the country list, not the plan name.
