Well, looking it up with dig proves otherwise:

	[michael at varg michael]$ dig @a.root-servers.net th ns +norec +short
	MUNNARI.OZ.AU.
	NS.EU.NET.
	NS.THNIC.NET.
	NS-AIT.THNIC.NET.
	AUTH61.NS.UU.NET.
	[michael at varg michael]$ dig @munnari.oz.au co.th ns +norec +short
	auth61.ns.uu.net.
	munnari.oz.au.
	ns.in.th.
	ns.thnic.net.
	ns-ait.thnic.net.
	[michael at varg michael]$ dig @munnari.oz.au gcom.co.th ns +norec +short
	ns3.nicsolutions.net.
	ns2.nicsolutions.net.
	[michael at varg michael]$ dig @ns3.nicsolutions.net gcom.co.th soa +norec +short
	[michael at varg michael]$ dig @ns2.nicsolutions.net gcom.co.th soa +norec +short
	[michael at varg michael]$

Looking more closely at this, I find an interesting fact:
Nicsolutions.net are engaged in cache poisoning attempts. Take a look:

	[michael at varg michael]$ dig @ns3.nicsolutions.net gcom.co.th ns +norec

	[michael at varg michael]$

ns2.nicsolutions.net responds likewise.

You should talk to them and inform them about this fact. If they don't
want to fix it, switch provider.

Why is it that people always come up with this kind of crap?
