An island airport at the far north end of the island, and the drive to the beach most people actually stay on is longer than they expect.
Install and enable the line before flying, and it is ready when you land — so you can arrange a car or confirm with your hotel while still inside the terminal, which matters here because pickup points differ by service.
Phuket is a mid-sized airport taking both domestic and international flights. The building is not large and the walk is short — what follows is a long drive south. Patong is a fair distance away and the southern beaches further still, so data earns its keep on the road rather than inside the terminal.

There is terminal Wi-Fi, fine for a message, but it ends at the door. On the drive south there is nothing but the mobile network.
Shared vans, buses to the main beaches and taxis all run from arrivals. Reaching the west-coast beaches takes the better part of an hour at busy times. Signal holds along the main road; the small roads climbing the headlands thin out in patches.

Islands with permanent settlements and accommodation generally have coverage; open water between them drops in and out, which is normal and returns as you near land.
Yes — both are in Thailand, so a Thailand plan covers both, including the journeys by road and boat between them.
