PhuketSarah Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Anyone have any knowledge of where the Customs House is in Ranong province at Myanmar border? Address as given by Call center 90/ 221 Chalermprakiat Road, Paknam, Mueng 85000 ( 90/221 ถนนเฉลิมพระเกียรติสมุทรสงครามระนอง 85000) but Google maps cannot find it in English or Thai . No info on any Govt websites , searches empty for location search on Customs site and a neglected FB page says it's closed permanently. (Suspectnot affiliated) The Bangkok Govt call clearing center is useless, no way to push the extension and the direct line ( o77 82 4872 ) never answers. Going on second hour of wasted time Please assist. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattd Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Maybe try calling the regional customs HQ in Phuket and ask 076 211377 This is the number that the Thai Ship Owners Association list for Ranong: 077 811582 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 There is a Chaloem Phrakiat Road in A. Mueang, Ranong on Google Maps but no house number 90 seems to be listed. The nearest number I can find is number 112. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From their website: 077-8248723 I think you'll find the number the OP quoted is correct - regarding the number of digits anyway. The way phone numbers are written is not always consistant or clear. In Thailand there are three-digit area codes followed by six-digit numbers (I'm now talking specificially about landlines and outside of Bangkok). The convention for writing the number is: 077-824872/3 This signifies there are two local numbers: 824872 and 824873, usually they will be set set-up so if the first number is busy it will switch to the next one, but not always. It's the character between the last digits "2" and "3" which causes problems. The standard is to use a forward slash: / not a hypen: - Edited March 26, 2018 by bluesofa misprit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then after I figured that out asked for English, answered in Thai, put on hold forever, then it picks up, put on hold and hung up on. Fairly typical govt phone manners.
