Thailand is one of the few places I regularly visit for which I don’t have a prepaid SIM card for the iPhone.

The United States is the other, but as far as I can work out, they don’t even EXIST there.

(Talk about world technology leaders….)

So I popped into the very flash True mobile phone outfit in the Paragon Centre.

The sweet young thing at the counter had NO CLUE what I was talking about, but a Thai guy jumped in to help, translated my question and translated her answer which was that I should go to a 7eleven store, buy a card and call up customer service to have them activate the data package.

“Will they understand me?” I asked.

“Probably not” he said.

Stuffed again……
