Land Lines

To dial a land line in Thailand all over the country, the format is Area Code + Phone Number. Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani and a part of Samut Sakhon are the provinces with 2-digit area code (02) followed by a 7-digit phone number. For other provinces, the area code is 3-digit long, followed by a 6-digit phone number. This allows the caller to dial 9 digits regardless of the location the calling made. For example, calls made within Bangkok begin with 02 followed by 7-digit phone numbers, and calls made from Chiang Mai to Bangkok also begin with 02 followed by 7-digit numbers. Until 2000, dialing within the area doesn't need the area code, for example 02-1234567 is only 1234567. But from 2000, dialing from anywhere in the country needs whole 9 digits.

Calls made from outside Thailand must omit the prefix 0. Therefore to call a land line number in Bangkok from other countries, dialing begins with +66 2 xxx xxxx.

Mobile Phones

Likewise to call mobile phones from land line or mobile phones, dialing begins with 08 followed by 8-digit phone numbers. Mobile phone numbers in Thailand are one digit longer than land line numbers. Thailand had been using a 2-digit prefix for mobile phones (01, 06, 09, for example). In October 2006, The authority changed the system into a 3-digit prefix (01 became 081, 06 became 086, and so on by simply adding number 8 after 0) to reserve more numbers for both mobile phones and land lines outside 02 area as 04, 05 and 07 was used for mobile phones too. So mobile phone numbers in Thailand are 10 digits long while land lines are only 9 digits long.

Calls made from outside Thailand must omit the prefix 0. Therefore to call a mobile number in Thailand from other countries, dialing begins with +66 8 xxxx xxxx.
