One eSIM for several Asian countries

Not necessarily. Every plan defines its own country list, and the plan name is only a broad label. The one reliable method is to open that plan's list and walk your route against it country by country, transits included. If a name is not there, treat it as not covered and plan a separate plan for that leg.

Usually not. If the new country is on the same plan's list, the phone finds a network itself after you leave aeroplane mode, which can take a few minutes. If nothing arrives after that, cycle aeroplane mode again, confirm data roaming is enabled on the travel line, and only then try selecting a network manually.

Price both routes. One is a single regional plan; the other is a country plan for the main destination plus a short plan for the stopover. Which comes out better depends on the plans available at the time, so compare the actual figures on the plan pages rather than deciding from the pattern alone.

Installing and activating are separate steps, and the rule for when the clock starts belongs to each plan. Read the terms of the one you bought. The safest habit is to install in advance but leave the line switched off, then turn it on once you land. If you are unsure, message us before you travel.

It depends on that plan's terms, which vary. Check the plan page before building a shared arrangement around it. Even where sharing is allowed, factor in the sharing phone's battery and the stretches when the group splits up — if you separate often, a small plan each is the cleaner answer.
