Essential Telephone

The telephone was created in 1800 in America by a Scottish-born inventor named Alexander Gramn Bell. Bell had built an experimental telegraph one day, and noticed he could send voice messages through it and someone could receive the message on the other side. Consequently, he created a transmitter and a receiver, and he patened it on March 7, 1876. At that time, the general public did not show much interest in his discovery. Since then, however, the telephone has become an essential appliance in the lives of people not only in Thailand but all over the world.

The first kind of telephones available in Thailand were public telephones and homephones. Public telephones and homephones were first used in Thailand about 100 years ago during the reign of King Rama V. At that time, telephones were bulky machines with rotary dials used only in palaces or rich people's houses. And the public telephone was a good way for people who had no homephone in their house. Home phone is more common in the urban area than the rural area. Since the telephone came to Thailand, it was not that popular becuase people were still used to writting letter. Presently, The public telephone and homephone become common all over Thailand and also people could communicated faster and more easily than before.
