Emergency Contacts
- Tourist Police 1155 (English available) · Police 191 · Medical emergency 1669
- For passport loss or other emergencies abroad, contact your country's embassy or consulate in Thailand.
What to Do in an Emergency
- Floods and downpours: Don't walk on flooded roads. There's a risk of electric shock and open manholes.
- At sea: A red flag on the beach means no swimming. During the monsoon season, the Andaman Sea (Phuket) has strong rip currents.
- Haze (February-April in the north): When PM2.5 is high, wear a KF94 or N95 mask and limit outdoor activities.
