Need mobile phone advice for Thailand

Hi guys. I have been looking online and chatting with the customer support people of various UK mobile networks (Lebara and o2), but their comm skills have been a bit of an issue... hence I am now starting a thread on here... Lebara is cheaper (Roam £10 / x8 days) but doesn't facilitate E-SIMs... o2 does E-SIMs but it is more expensive (Roam £7 / x1 day ... [£56 / x8 days] )

Do any of you use a Thai SIM in your phone?

– And if so, how much do they cost, and are they any good please?

I am considering using one UK regular SIM in conjunction with one Thai SIM, if they are ok.

– This will also require me to buy an iphone that supports x2 SIMS in the same device...

The customer support people couldn't really explain the E-SIMs and how they worked, but I gather they enable us to use our UK number on them - while also being able to connect with a local [Thai] network.

– Are the E-SIMs as good as they sound?

Any feedback would be v much appreciated

Thanks
