Thailand fire emergency number 199: leave danger before making calls

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.

Leave the hazardous area

Do not re-enter a smoky, burning or structurally unsafe space to collect belongings.

Call 199 for fire

Give the exact address, floor or unit, what is burning if known, and whether anyone may be inside.

Call 1669 for injuries

Report burns, smoke exposure or other medical emergencies separately so medical help can be coordinated.

Call 191 for immediate security or traffic-control risk

Use 191 when there is an immediate threat that needs police response.

Practical preparation

At a hotel, apartment or venue, follow staff evacuation instructions and use the designated assembly point. A building alarm, extinguisher or posted escape map is not proof that a situation is safe; follow the responding authorities.
