Thanks to everyone for their input.
It will be after midnight by the time I get through customs at Suvarnabhumi and I'll then be heading straight to Pattaya. If the True shop is closed at that time I'll have to keep my fingers crossed that I can find a micro-SIM version of the Net-SIM somewhere in Pattaya.

Truemove will be your only possible option for 3G in Pattaya. Not sure on exact areas of coverage. http://www.truemove....ea_pattaya.html
Truemove operates on 850 Mhz, so in theory your iPhone (3G, 3GS, 4) should support that; the N97 may if it is the USA version 850/1900/2100, but not if it is the WW version, 90/1900/2100.
You can get a True NetSIM, then layer a data package on top of it. They have uSIMs http://www.truemove....y-microsim.html

Thanks for the information. I don't think I could use my Nokia N97 because its the international version sold in Asia, not the US version.
That's not a problem if I can use my iPhone 4 instead. I hope TrueMove would allow me to connect my laptop via the iPhone using the "Personal Hotspot" tethering function of the iPhone. If I understand the web site correctly, I could buy a TrueMove "hi-speed micro SIM" and then get a pre-pay package for 900 Baht which would give me an additional 5GB of data volume.
I will be staying in the central/south area of Pattaya, so I hope I'm lucky and that will be covered by 3G.
One more question if you don't mind. Is it possible to by a TrueMove SIM in Suvarnabhumi Airport when I arrive, or is it easy to find when I get to Pattaya?
