How to Call Thailand from USA
Three quick steps are all it takes to reach any Thai number from the United States.
USA Exit Code
Start with 011. That signals to your US carrier that the call is heading overseas.
(On mobile/VoIP, just use +)
Thailand Code (+66)
Add 66. That sends the call onto Thailand's phone network.
Area Code & Number
Finish with the city code or mobile prefix.Remember: leave off the leading zero!
Why the Leading Zero Goes Away
For local dialing inside Thailand, both landline and mobile numbers open with a '0' (Bangkok shows up as 02, for instance). Calling in from the USA, you must remove this zero.
Thailand City Codes
The usual area codes for Thailand's larger cities. Drop the '0' whenever you call from the USA.
| City | Region | Area Code |
|---|---|---|
| Bangkok | Central | 02 |
| Chiang Mai | North | 053 |
| Phuket | South | 076 |
| Pattaya (Chonburi) | East | 038 |
| Khon Kaen | Northeast | 043 |
| City | Region | Area Code |
|---|---|---|
| Hat Yai (Songkhla) | South | 074 |
| Nakhon Ratchasima | Northeast | 044 |
| Hua Hin | Central | 032 |
| Surat Thani (Samui) | South | 077 |
| Udon Thani | Northeast | 042 |
Thai Mobile Prefixes
Thai cell numbers nearly always begin with 08, 09, or 06. Add +66 ahead of them and leave off that first 0.
