SOS: The Numbers You Need
Knowing what to do and who to call can really make the difference in an emergency situation. If you know where to turn and what to say if something goes awry, possible disaster can be avoided.
Help on call
If you need to ensure you speak to an English-speaking operator for help in an emergency in Thailand, call the Tourist Police on 1155. Make sure that children also know this number and how to call it.
In the case of an accident, you'll get English-speaking help by calling an ambulance service from one of the many international hospitals in Thailand. In addition, it helps to be well aware of your essential contacts for the Police, Fire and Medical services. AngloINFO has a comprehensive page on your local Emergency Telephone Numbers which you can find quickly from the right side menu of any page on the site: look for Emergencies under the main heading, "Essential Information".
