A Thai virtual phone number is a real Thailand DID delivered over SIP. Thai numbering uses 2-3 digit area codes (with trunk prefix 0) — Bangkok 02, Chiang Mai 053, Phuket 076, Pattaya 038. Internationally these are dialed as +66 followed by the area code without the leading 0. Thailand is regulated by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC).
