Virtual sims are incredibly convenient for traveling. The first time I used one in Thailand it was magical: no need to buy and pop a physical SIM into your phone, and no need to take care and not lose your original SIM.

Thailand carriers are also competitive on the global stage due to the data arbitrage they get from so much inbound tourist data demand. The AIS SIM2Fly eSIM 130 country roaming SIM is 30% cheaper than Google Fi in about 90 countries and 60% cheaper in 30 Asian countries.
