krakatoa Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) But if you are a back packer every little satang counts! Well don't it? Anyone who is worried about whether a local telephone call is gonna break the bank (or has to even ask the question) sounds like he / she should be in the Oz band 'dire straights' Edited March 8, 2010 by krakatoa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasemonkey Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Thai payphones are spiteful and vindictive. I've never won an argument with one yet. Go to an internet cafe and make your call from there. A lot safer and less stressful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot safer and less stressful. You can make a call to anywhere in thailand for 1 baht .. you may only get 15 seconds before your cut off.. but its handy if you are in an emergency situation.

swain Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 The more you put in the longer you can talk but that should be obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill97 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Depends on how much you loose in phones that are out of order before you find one working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasemonkey Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Depends on how much you loose in phones that are out of order before you find one working. This is true. Add to that the thick layer of grease on the handle, and standing in a glass box, and internet cafes seem so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swain Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) Internet cafe Better?... sure but not what the op asked. Also I must be the lucky one, I have been here for close to 10 years and I have only run into two phones that didn't work. True I haven't tried that many but was always able to find one that worked and wasn't greasy when I needed one.. That being said with the flu on the rise... purex should be used after talking on one.

vagabond48 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 The last time I used the TOT pay phone which was well over a year ago, I believe calling another landline phone (not mobile) was 1 baht for unlimited minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
