Re: Cheap calls from the UK to a Thailand Landline

Thanks guys, I will revisit the Skype option and Bluesky I will look at these apps.

As for the Planet Numbers option, I still have credit from the £5 I deposited via PayPal and calling Thailand is 2p per min to landlines and 1p per minute for mobiles.

Thanks again

Re: Cheap calls from the UK to a Thailand Landline

Not good for calling the bank landline, which was the issue I had at the time.
For mobile calls and video calling I regularly use WhatsApp, line and and Facebook Messenger.

Thanks for your feedback then and now.

I needed to call the Bangkok Bank to release the block on my PIN as I had entered the wrong pin 3 times. In the end I I bit the bullet ...

Re: Hua Hin Beach - Toilets/Showers

Your very welcome, enter or exit the beach on Alley 61 next to the Centara Grand.
I think you've entered where the Chinese Temple is.
Kind regards

Re: Call a Thailand landline from the UK Cheaply

Thanks Big boy, you have helped me tremendously in the past and hopefully this will continue. I looked at the site that you mentioned and they offer two different ways of paying and both involve premium rate numbers to access the cheap calls. I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet. I have a UK...
