Regardless of where you are located in the world, it is always a good idea to have the local emergency contact information. Here in Thailand, such contact information has been made easy by dialing shortened numbers to reach assistance. All of the emergency numbers should have an English speaker ready to help you in your time of need.
We recommend having an emergency list posted in your home or in your chosen transportation vehicle in case the need arises. Having your address in Thailand, a copy of your passport, phone number, and health insurance policy details are also highly-recommended. If you have a friend who speaks Thai or an emergency contact, it is also of great value to have this information on hand.
