Thailand - Dialling Codes

Domestic Dialling Codes

Since the beginning of 2002 Thailand no longer uses domestic area codes. These have all now been incorporated into the telephone number so even when calling within the local area, the area code must be dialled. Some confusion exists regarding the first (0) digit; if you try dialling without it and you can't get through then dial again with it.

You will still find many telephone numbers in the old format, Bangkok & environs: 7 digits, provinces: 6 digits. To help you convert to the new country-wide number format of 8 digits here are the old area codes for some of the major cities around Thailand. Remember to also add the optional zero if at first you don't succeed.
