Thailand ambulance number 1669: make the call clear and fast

Use this page well

Start with the service that matches the emergency

Emergency contacts are operational information. Use this guide to prepare, then call the responsible service directly when help is needed.

Call 1669 for an emergency

Say the location first: province, district, building or landmark, and a callback number.

Describe the immediate problem

Explain what happened, how many people need help and whether there is bleeding, unconsciousness, breathing difficulty, a collision or another hazard.

Keep the scene safe

Do not put yourself in danger. If a road incident is involved, tell the dispatcher about traffic or fire risk.

Use the right parallel service

Call 191 for an immediate security threat and 199 for fire; do not delay medical help while searching for a travel-specific contact.

Practical preparation

If language is difficult, ask a nearby responsible person, hotel staff or tour leader to help convey the location and symptoms. Keep medicines, allergies and travel-insurance information available for medical staff, but follow the dispatcher’s instructions over this page.
