TLDR : Answer Summary

Users share various prefixes and methods for making cheaper calls to the UK from Thailand. The prefixes vary by mobile carrier: 00500 for AIS, 00400 for DTAC, and 006 for True. Other suggestions include using apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or Skype for free calls, as well as VOIP services like Voipcheap.com for better rates on landline calls.

If you have an I phone and the person you are calling has an I phone than you can call by FaceTime and it is a free call

Use a VOIP service like Voipcheap dot com and after adding like $10 credit you get free calls to landlines in most western countries and cheaper than Skype calls to mobiles.
