Thailand at a glance
I numeri e i fatti di cui hai bisogno prima di comporre il numero.
What is the country code for Thailand?
Thailand answers to +66. Pair it with your own exit code to reach any Thai landline or mobile from overseas. The catch is the trunk 0 that sits at the front of every number printed on a Bangkok taxi or a Phuket hotel card — that 0 is for dialing inside Thailand only. Going international, you peel it off and put +66 in its place.
Codice +66 was assigned to Thailand by the ITU under the E.164 plan. The “+” significa "comporre il prefisso di uscita internazionale locale"; su un cellulare, tieni premuto 0 per digitarlo.
All four mean the same thing — they connect your call to Thailand.
How to call Thailand from anywhere
Calling in is a three-step move: exit code, then 66, then the national number stripped of its leading 0. Get that 0 off and the call sails through; leave it on and it won't.
Full example: +66 02 XXX XXXX — drop the local leading 0 when calling from abroad.
Thailand phone number format explained
Counted with the trunk 0, a Thai landline is 9 digits and a mobile is 10. Move to E.164 and that 0 drops away, leaving the clean international form.
Landline
0 + area code (1–2 digits) + subscriber number. Example: Bangkok 02 XXX XXXX → +66 2 XXX XXXX. Bangkok uses single-digit area code 2; other provinces use 2-digit codes (3x, 4x, 5x, 7x).
Mobile
0 + 8X/9X/6X + 7 digits. Example: 08X XXX XXXX → +66 8X XXX XXXX. Mobiles begin 06, 08 or 09.

Thailand mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +66 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.
AIS (Advanced Info Service)
True (incl. former DTAC/TrueMove H)
NT Mobile (National Telecom)
Thailand time zone
Thailand keeps Indochina Time (ICT), UTC+7, and never adjusts it — no daylight saving means the same offset holds in monsoon season and dry season alike. For travelers and the businesses serving them, that's one fewer thing to recalculate twice a year.
A European 07:00–09:00 start lands neatly in Thailand's working day; from the US, your late evening is Thailand's morning. Aim inside Thai office hours, 09:00–17:00 ICT, to catch businesses live.

Quasi ogni chiamata internazionale fallita è un problema di formattazione, non di rete.
Leaving the trunk 0 on after +66: this is the number-one slip with Thai numbers. A hotel card reads 02 XXX XXXX, but internationally it's +66 2 XXX XXXX
never +66 0 2 … Drop that 0 every time.
Thinking Bangkok's "2" is the whole code: it's a single-digit area code, yet you still dial the eight digits that follow it

Punching 011 from a mobile overseas: skip it
+66 works from any GSM phone.

Tips to reduce the cost of calling Thailand
Run a Thai virtual/DID number so local callers reach you at local rates, not international ones.
Carry traffic over VoIP/SIP rather than carrier IDD tariffs.
For visits, an AIS or True eSIM covers data and on-net calling the moment you land.
Time calls inside Thai business hours (UTC+7) so you connect first try and skip the missed-call merry-go-round.

Thailand +66 — FAQ
The number on my hotel card starts with 0 — do I keep it?expand_more
No. That leading 0 is for dialing inside Thailand. From abroad, drop it and dial +66 in its place.
How do I call Thailand from the US?expand_more
Dial 011, then 66, then the number with its leading 0 removed.
Is Bangkok's area code really just one digit?expand_more
Yes — it's 2 (written 02 at home, +66 2 abroad), but you still dial all the digits that follow.
What does a Thai mobile number look like?expand_more
A 0, then 6, 8, or 9, then eight more digits — ten in total domestically.
Which exit code does Thailand use to call out?expand_more
001 is standard, with 000, 008, and 009 offered by various carriers.
Does Thailand change clocks for summer?expand_more
No — ICT (UTC+7) stays constant all year, so there's nothing to recalculate.
Can I tell the carrier from the prefix?expand_more
No — full number portability means an 08x number isn't a reliable carrier indicator.
Who do I call in an emergency?expand_more
191 for police, 1669 for ambulance, and 1155 for the English-speaking Tourist Police.
