As far as i know you have to insert an 8 after the first 0 or immediately after the +66 country code. But dont blame me if this information is wrong. I just heard it in this way.
Maybe someone from this forum who is living in Thailand can help???

Hopefully this article from THAIVISA.COM will help explain the changes;
BANGKOK (thaivisa.com): Last night Thailand's mobile operators changed all Thai mobile numbers from 9-digits to 10-digits numbers. The 9-digit based system will be intact until November 30, to make it easy for the customers.
But you don't need to do anything to continue to call out and receive calls, but you will need to edit your own phone book to include the extra "8" digit for Thai mobile phones.
A lot of confusion has occured because of conflicting information in the media. So here is the lowdown:
1. You do NOT need to visit any Ais, DTAC or True etc. service centre!
2. Your mobile number currently works with both the old number and the new number (until Nov 30, 2006):
Example:
If your old number was, for example: 01-5432109 your new number is now 081-5432109. Both will work until November 30, 2006 so no worries.
3. You propably have a lot of Thai mobile numbers stored in your mobile or SIM-card. You are advised to manually change all Thai mobile numbers to include the "8" as in the example above.
(You can of course visit your mobile shop to do this for you, but it's not mandatory.)
4. Number presentation (CLID): You might not yet see the new "8" when someone is calling you from another Thai mobile, but it may work within a few weeks.
5. Soon you will receive a SMS message from your mobile provider to change your SMS settings to include the extra "8" in your phone setting for "SMS Service Centre", but you can leave that for the next few weeks.
6. Please inform you international phone friends and collegues of the new situation. As the example above, you international phone number was +6615432109 - now it is +66815432109
The alteration of local mobile phones to the 10-digit system is to cope with the kingdom's expanding demand for mobile phone services in coming years, according to the National Telecommunication Commission (NTC).
