Mobile Phones In Thailand - Do They Include Thai Language Option?

[rockyysdt]

I was wondering, do Mobile phones sold for the Thai market come with a thai language option?

If so do they have to switch between language settings when communicating with foreigners?

[ballzafire]

Yes and yes.

Yes and yes.

So a non thai mobile phone imported as a gift wouldn't be worthwhile?

Depends on the brand/model as to whether it can be firmware upgraded to support Thai language. But then there is the issue of the keyboard characters.
