Open PayPal
Go to sign-up (“Mobile number”) or Settings → Security → 2-step verification.
Enter the +66 number
Select Thailand (+66) in the country picker and paste the number from your dashboard without a leading 0. Thailand mobiles look like 08x xxx xxxx → +66 8x xxx xxxx.

Day-to-day life in Thailand runs on LINE, Facebook and Messenger, yet PayPal remains the app for receiving payments with a number that matches your account country. A +66 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
LINE for Thai businesses: Thai shops, clinics and hotels take bookings over LINE Official Accounts, which work best with a local number.
PayPal sends login and payment codes for as long as the account exists.
LINE is the messaging app of choice in Thailand, used by businesses, government offices and families alike. Millions of tourists, retirees and remote workers pass through Bangkok, Chiang Mai and the islands, and a +66 number makes daily life there much easier.
Local context
Thai SIM cards must be registered with a passport, and tourist SIMs are sold at airports and convenience stores. A Thailand number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
