About FM 88 Radio Thailand English
FM 88 Radio Thailand English is the English-language service of Radio Thailand, the national radio network run by Thailand's Public Relations Department (PRD). It is aimed at English speakers in and around Thailand, including expatriates, visitors and diplomats, and carries news, talk and information programmes about the country. The stream identifies itself as FM 88.00 MHz.
As a government-operated public broadcaster, its editorial line reflects the official public information role of the PRD. Programmes have included interview series with embassy officials and United Nations representatives in Thailand, and the PRD has announced a cooperation with the BBC to bring English-language news and programmes to the service, although its implementation status is not confirmed here. Frequency details vary between sources.
The internet stream is MP3 at 128 kbps, 48 kHz stereo, and is relayed through a Thai streaming provider. A detailed programme schedule is not published on the station page, so expect a mix of spoken-word shows and news bulletins in English.
