Asia — Useful tips for your trip
Asia spans many countries and currencies, so check which ones your regional plan covers and keep some local cash — street food, markets and small taxis are often cash-only.
Power sockets vary widely across Asia (types A, C, G, I and more), so pack a universal travel adapter to keep your phone and power bank charged.
A regional eSIM keeps you connected as you hop between countries, but a single-country plan will not work across a border — always check the covered-country list before you travel.
Handy local apps differ by country — Grab across much of Southeast Asia, others elsewhere. Your eSIM lets you download and use whichever ride and food app works locally.
Tap water is unsafe to drink in many parts of Asia — stick to bottled or filtered water, and be cautious with ice and raw foods where hygiene is uncertain.
Multi-country trips through Asia are where a regional eSIM earns its keep. Instead of hunting for a new SIM in every arrivals hall — or installing a separate profile for Japan, then Thailand, then Vietnam — one Asia plan follows you across borders and reconnects on its own each time you land. Airlivo's Asia eSIM covers Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong and eight more destinations — 18 countries in total on local partner networks. Plans start at $3.25 and run all the way up to 100GB over 180 days, so the range covers both a week in Tokyo and a six-month backpacking route. For a two- or three-week trip across a few countries, most travellers land somewhere between 5GB and 10GB; anyone streaming, video calling home or hotspotting a laptop should look at the 20GB plans or the unlimited options, which run from 3 days up to a full month. One thing worth checking before you buy: confirm every country on your itinerary is on the coverage list, since a regional plan is only cheaper than single-country eSIMs if it actually covers the whole route. Setup is done before departure — scan the QR at home and the eSIM activates when it first detects a local network. Your own number stays available for calls and texts, as the eSIM handles data only.
