Checklist 10
Emergency Numbers
4 numbers. Screenshot them now. Nobody googles calmly at 3 a.m. on 4% battery. Save these before you go out.

Police
191 · Police
Police emergency anywhere in Thailand. Say where you are first, then what happened.
Save it in your phone now

Call 1669 first for anything medical

Tourist police
1155 · Tourist Police
24 hours, English spoken. Theft, scams, spiked drinks, trouble. They can't send an ambulance.
The one to call when you don't know who to call

Don't go back inside

Your SIM
