Use these identifiers accurately

The two-letter code TH is the compact ISO identifier used in addresses, locale selectors, and many data feeds. The dialing prefix +66 belongs at the start of an international phone number. Time zone names such as Asia/Bangkok should be preferred over a fixed UTC offset because they carry daylight-saving rules.
