Medical Emergencies

If you are travelling to Thailand due to a medical emergency, it is best to arrange with your hospital for an ambulance service to receive you on arrival at the airport. 

In the case of a medical emergency while in Thailand, it is best to call an ambulance service directly. Noted below are some numbers that can be used to obtain emergency medical assistance in Thailand. 

Public ambulance (nationwide) - 1669

Emergency medical treatment may prove costly even in Thailand. Getting travel/medical insurance is advised for those who travel to Thailand.
