Mr Red Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Not sure this is the right place, but here goes ... When we call Bangkok from the US, we dial 011 -- International Long Distance 66 -- BKK city code + number I know there is a difference between land lines and cell codes (sometimes?), and when we are in Thailand we dial differently. I am just not straight on what we dial in-country versus out-of-country. Anybody help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody help? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Easy When dialling from abroad delete first digit (O) I.e.: international code then Number either land line or mobile Less first digit (O) Hope this helps Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rags Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 The numbers for phoning local mobiles or land lines in Thailand include a '0' at the start. e.g. (0) 1234 5678. When phoning from overseas the '0' is omitted. Rags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZZ Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Land lines always have an area code: 02 for Bangkok, 038 for Pattaya When dialing in Thailand you have to dial this code, including the 0, even if you are in the area. the number (02) 1234-567 should be dialed as: From anywhere in Thailand, including Bangkok: 021234567 From US: 0116621234567 The same thing with cell numbers, include the leading zero when dialing inside Thailand and exclude it when dialing from outside. As far as I know numbers starting with 01,06 and 09 are cell numbers, there may be others as well??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syd barrett Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 When calling Italy (Country Code 39) you don't drop the 0....that's a real killer if you don't know it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
