You've got flexibility with your SouthESIM! We suggest installing it on your phone before you even leave home. The wonderful thing about SouthESIM is that your plan's validity period only begins once you land in your first destination, say Bangkok or Hanoi, and connect to a local network like AIS or Viettel. So, go ahead and set it up now, then enjoy seamless connectivity the moment you step off the plane!
