I Will be in Bangkok for a week.
What is the cheapest prepaid mobile package available?
Only use locally with easy reload.

Please reply.

If you already have a phone, you can get DTAC and One-2-Call sim cards
at MBK and elsewhere for 600 baht. This includes 300 baht of call time.
Both are easy to reload with prepaid cards available everywhere. If you
need a phone, you can buy a cheap used one for less than 1000 baht;
again at MBK.

Thanks. I meant to say only a starter pack. By the way, what is the
lowest price for a reload?

For DTAC, the minimum reload amount is now 400 Baht.

Hmm.. I have trouble finding anything over 200 baht most of the time.. I'm
HAPPY when they have 400 baht. (I mostly buy at small mom and pop minimart
type stores though)

I see. I'm reloading at an ATM, and that's the minimum reload value
there. Perhaps the cards you can buy are priced lower, but I've never
bought them.
