PSA: A $5 local SIM card in Chiang Mai saved my entire work week

My coworking space wifi went down for 36 hours, which would have tanked my deadlines. I walked to a 7-Eleven, bought a local SIM with a data pack, and used my phone as a hotspot. What's your go-to backup plan when the internet just quits on you?

I mean, you can usually just get an eSIM online now without going to a store.

Yeah but setup can be a pain, @sagemurphy.
