About Thailand Phone Numbers
Thai mobile numbers start with 08, 06, or 09, followed by 8 digits (total 10 digits). For international format, use +66 + 9-digit number (drop the leading 0).
How to Dial Thailand Phone Numbers
To call a Thailand phone number, the exact format depends on where the call starts. Domestic mobile calls usually keep the leading 0, while international calls to Thailand use the +66 country code instead.
- Within Thailand: Dial the full national number, including the leading 0 for standard domestic calls.Example:
081-234-5678 - From abroad to Thailand: Dial +66 followed by the national number without the leading 0.Example:
+66 81-234-5678 - From Thailand to other countries: Dial an international access prefix such as 001, 004, 006, or 009, then the country code and full phone number.Example:
001 1 212 555 0123
Note: Thai domestic mobile numbers commonly begin with 0, but that prefix is dropped in international format.
