The short answer
Rogers puts Thailand on the list for its International Travel Pass, so your own plan's data, talk and text work there for C$100 over 14 days or C$120 over 30. I would buy Ringo Light for a stay, because it costs less, with unlimited data at full speed: $22.99 for 2 weeks or $32.99 for 30 days. The gap is smaller than on a European trip, and Rogers wins on what a data eSIM cannot do: your own number, calls and texts, and no eSIM slot needed.
Unlimited data at full speed for 2 weeks at $22.99 or 30 days at $32.99, one payment, nothing renews. Rogers asks C$100 for 14 days or C$120 for 30.
The pass uses your own Rogers plan, so calls and texts reach your own number, nothing needs installing, and the cost lands on a bill you already pay. A phone with no eSIM slot works too. Ringo Light is data only.

Rogers Travel Pass vs Ringo Light for a Thai trip
Thailand sits on Rogers' International Travel Pass list, and Ringo Light is the lower price on both lengths it sells: $22.99 for two weeks against C$100 (about $72), and $32.99 for a month against C$120 (about $86). I give Rogers the things money cannot buy from a data eSIM: your own number, calls and texts, no install, and a bill you already pay. My test is simple: do you need the Canadian number live in Bangkok?
Price: the same trip at each
The Rogers page read on 1 November 2026 sells International Travel Passes in Canadian dollars: C$45 for 3 days, C$75 for 7, C$100 for 14 and C$120 for 30. It names no per-day international rate. I converted the dollar figures at the European Central Bank reference rate of 30 October 2026, C$1 = $0.716.
I read Ringo Light's Thailand catalogue in US dollars, and the checkout shows the amount in the buyer's currency before paying. For Thailand it sells three trips, $6.99 for 7 days, $22.99 for 2 weeks and $32.99 for 30 days, one payment each, and no 3-day trip, so for a short stop I would compare on the full eSIM page. The difference is $49.01 on two weeks and $53.01 on a month, in Ringo Light's favor.
Data and speed at each
Rogers' FAQ is clear that the passes have no usage bucket of their own: they use the data, talk and text amounts in your plan. I read that as: a plan with 20 GB gives 20 GB in Phuket, shared with every app. The pages state no general roaming speed on land, only a limit for cruise ships. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed, which I would want for a stay of island hopping, ride apps and video calls home. Fair use policy, see Terms.
Calls, texts and your own number
Rogers keeps the phone working as it does in Ontario or Alberta: the same number rings, and texts arrive. I would keep Rogers if family may call you, or if a clinic or lender expects your number. Ringo Light carries no calls. Calls go over apps that use data, and your own SIM stays in the phone for calls, with your number staying on your own SIM next to it. Many travelers in Thailand use messaging apps anyway.
Setup and billing
As I read the page, a Rogers pass is bought up to 60 days ahead, and its start date is set on MyRogers before you go. The pass begins at 12 a.m. Eastern on that day, which is half a day behind Thailand's clock, and the charge comes with the next bill. Ringo Light is emailed after payment and installs by scanning a code. Do it on home Wi-Fi before the long flight, then switch on the eSIM for data at Suvarnabhumi. An eSIM-capable phone is required.
What Ringo Light is, and what it is not
I write for Ringo, so weigh that. Ringo Light is its data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere. For Thailand it sells 2 weeks at $22.99 and 30 days at $32.99, unlimited data at full speed, one payment, nothing renewing.
It is not a phone line: no number, no replacement for Rogers calls and texts, and it needs an eSIM slot. Rogers is the easy single bill, and I will not pretend otherwise; Ringo Light is the lower price for the same days in Thailand.
