Yesterday, I declared phone independence from Fee, buying a sleek little Nokia cell phone. As a fun little bonus, each phone merchant has an array of telephone numbers, so you can choose the path of your new telephonic life.
I knew the stars must have been aligned when I spotted a series of 555-XXXX numbers and couldn’t resist my chance to grab a piece of Hollywood.
In addition to being the designated prefix of the Silver Screen, 555 happens brings a smile to Thais. The number ‘five’ in Thai is ‘haa’ (with a falling tone, but that’s beside the point); therefore, ‘555’ is a nice little chuckle. Seems that ‘555’ is the ‘LOL’ of Thailand.
So, now the open question – what phone numbers do they call in Thai movies?
