The short answer
Bangkok and the Thai islands, then a flight to Denpasar for Ubud and the beaches, is the trip I priced. Bali is in Indonesia, and the Ringo Light Asia plan covers Indonesia, so one install works on both sides. I read six regional plans on 25 October 2026 and checked the fine print on unlimited. For two weeks or a month across both, I would buy Ringo Light.
One eSIM for Thailand and Bali, unlimited data at full speed, 2 weeks at $34.99 or 30 days at $59.99, nothing renews. Airalo asks $49 for 15 days and $73.50 for the month.
A short stopover on either side: 3 days of unlimited at $11.50, with 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps.
For beaches and light use: 10 GB for 30 days at $21 and 20 GB for 45 days at $35 (on sale, regular $40).
A week split across both with 25 GB at full speed for $25, then 2 Mbps. 20 GB a month for $19 if you are happy with a plan that renews.
Prices read on 25 October 2026: Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi on their own sites or listings, Ringo Light from its catalogue. All in US dollars unless stated. Treat every number as a snapshot.

The prices, charted
Asia regional plans that cover both, US dollars, 25 October 2026. Ringo Light sells 2 weeks, the others 15 days. Ubigi's 15 days is 30 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps. Nomad sells no two-week unlimited; its longest is 10 days at $29.
The 30-day regional plan at each brand. Ubigi's month is 60 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps. Nomad sells no 30-day unlimited.
Holafly sells no buckets. Ringo Light sells no bucket either: its 2 weeks is unlimited, so it lasts 2 weeks, not 30 days.

That is the full Ringo service: one plan that works everywhere, with your own number included.
It is a separate product from Ringo Light and it is still being built, so it is not on sale yet. Join the waitlist to hear when it opens.
What to do in Thailand and Bali, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places that tend to fill a trip from Bangkok to Bali, four in Thailand and four in Bali, with the one thing your data does for you at each. One Asia eSIM works at every stop.
One plan for both countries: Ringo Light
Bali is part of Indonesia, and the Ringo Light Asia plan covers Indonesia along with Thailand, so there is no separate Bali eSIM to buy. You install once before you leave and the phone finds a network on landing in Denpasar, with no step in between.
The Asia plan costs $34.99 for 2 weeks and $59.99 for 30 days, and nothing renews. For about two weeks of unlimited on a regional plan I read Ubigi at $45 for a fixed 30 GB at full speed, Airalo at $49, Holafly at $51.50 and Saily at $54.99. For a month, the rivals run $66 to $86.99.
Add up Ringo Light's country plans and the regional plan wins for two weeks. Thailand's 2 weeks is $22.99 and the Bali page's Indonesia plan $23.99 on their own pages, $46.98 together, against $34.99 for the Asia trip that covers both. For a month, Thailand's 30 days is $32.99 and Indonesia's $35.99, $68.98 together, against $59.99.
The gap is smaller over a month, so if you plan weeks in one and a few days in the other, it is worth reading both country pages before you decide.
Which plans cover both countries
Ringo Light covers both, and Indonesia, where Bali sits, is on its list of 20 countries beside Thailand. One eSIM, one price.
For the rivals I use the parent's counts: Airalo 18 countries, Holafly 16, Saily 22, Nomad 14, Ubigi 17, with the few exclusions it names, none of them Thailand or Indonesia. I could not confirm Thailand and Indonesia one by one on each rival's list on the day, so I would check that Indonesia, not just Bali by name, is listed before you buy.
If you want a data bucket: Nomad or Airalo
- Nomad, $21 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB on its 14-country APAC plan, and 20 GB for 45 days at $35 (on sale, regular $40).
- Airalo, $25 for 10 GB. Asialink, 18 countries, 20 GB for 30 days at $39, buckets from $4 for 1 GB.
- Ubigi, $28 for 10 GB. Best Asia, 17 countries. Its 20 GB for $19 is a monthly plan that renews until you stop it.
- Saily, $35.99 for 10 GB. Asia and Oceania, 22 countries, no 20 GB bucket on its listing. Read on saily.com, 25 October 2026.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. Its 2 weeks is unlimited for $34.99 and its 30 days unlimited for $59.99. For a fixed 10 GB, Nomad and Airalo are cheaper, and for 20 GB so are Nomad, Airalo and Ubigi's monthly plan. I would buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket.
What Ringo Light is
I write for Ringo, and Ringo Light is its own data eSIM, so keep that in mind. It is sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Asia it sells two trips across 20 countries, Thailand and Indonesia among them, both unlimited data at full speed: 2 weeks at $34.99 and 30 days at $59.99. Nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
The card to buy it is further up this page, just after the side-by-side table.
Pick by trip
I would buy Airalo unlimited, 3 days, $11.50. Ringo Light sells no 3 days on the Asia plan.
I would buy Ubigi's week with 25 GB at full speed for $25. Ringo Light has no week; its 2 weeks is $34.99.
I would buy Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $34.99, less than any rival charges for two weeks.
I would buy Ringo Light unlimited, 30 days, $59.99.
I would buy Nomad 10 GB for 30 days at $21, if its 14 countries include Thailand and Indonesia.
None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
