Apt needs special metadata. This mirror looks like it's a copy of
freshrpms.net, and as such, it's got that metadata. Put these two lines:

rpm ftp://ftp.nectec.or.th/pub/linux-softwares/freshrpms/ayo/fedora/linux/2/i386 core updates freshrpms
rpm-src ftp://ftp.nectec.or.th/pub/linux-softwares/freshrpms/ayo/fedora/linux/2/i386 core updates freshrpms

in your /etc/apt/sources.list and you should be all set.
