Thailand Dialplan?

[seanwg]

Hi

Does anyone know the dialplan for bangkok? My wife says its 7 digits, but I can't believe its 7 digits + 1 city/region code?

Ie

from BKK

01 XXX XXXX

02 XXX XXXX

for the entire country

+66 X XXX XXXX

Your wife is correct.

Bangkok Landlines are all 02 xxx xxxx

This gives approx 1 million landline numbers for bangkok alone

For the whole of Thailand the number is

66 x(x) xxx xxxx

The regional number (or mobile operator number) can be from 1 - 99 giving a total of approx 99 million possible phone numbers which for a population of approx 66 million is more than sufficiant.

In Bangkok most apartments use a pabx system which allows for an even greater number of individual numbers.

Hope this helps

Actually Bangkok changed the telephone number format some time ago and the current format is 0 2xxx-xxxx for a landline number. And there is a shortage again so now they are talking going to ten numbers.
