1169 gets you a operater that will direct your call to which ever service you want. No idea if they speak English though.

From Wikipedia so hopefully OK to post.

 

Police 191

Fire 1669

Ambulance 199

 

911 can also be used for universal emergency number;[19] Ambulance (Bangkok only) - 1646; Tourist police - 1155; Traffic control center (Bangkok Metro only) - 1197; Highway patrol - 1193; Mobile Phones - 112.

 

If you have a relationship with a private hospital they will likely have full ambulance service available and expect are often the first call for medical emergency.
