Practical safety guide
Thailand Tourist Police 1155: a practical visitor-help route
Tourist Police publishes 1155 as its hotline and presents its app as a channel for assistance, translation and tourism information. Use it when a visitor needs help navigating a safety or tourism problem; use 191, 1669 or 199 when the situation needs police, medical or fire dispatch.
Call 1155 for visitor-focused help
Explain your language, location, what has happened and whether anyone is in immediate danger.
Escalate emergencies directly
For an active threat call 191; for injury or illness call 1669; for fire call 199.
Prepare useful evidence
Keep booking details, receipts, photos, messages and the operator or venue name. Do not hand over originals unless an official process requires it.
Use a verified channel
Use the Tourist Police website or official app listing rather than a phone number or messaging account supplied by an unknown person.
Practical preparation
Tourist Police publishes area and station information. Before travelling to an office, verify its current address and opening details on the official site. If you are reporting a time-sensitive incident, call first rather than relying on a web page.
