Hi, before more ads are coming: many travellers to SE Asia have this question. Basically, it's the same as in Europe some time ago. You have essentially three choices:

1.) to buy an international SIM card like in the comments above or mentioned in our all countries section. This will come with a high premium.

2.) to buy a local SIM card in the first country you enter (here: Thailand) and use it first domestically and then roaming in the countries where you go next. True sells roaming in 28 countries but at high CHF80 for a week.

3.) to buy a local SIM card in every country you travel. As start-up prices and local data rates are low, this is the way most budget travellers go.

All the countries that you have mentioned sell 1GB of 4G data for less than €/CHF 3 and it's easy to buy a SIM there. Compare on their local articles in our Wiki.

For calls to Europe you should use VoIP (like Skype, WhatsApp, Line etc...) or in some countries like Thailand using special IDD prefixes of the providers.
