Zorne Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) Hi! I´ve seen different kinds of numbers etc floating around so I just want to have some clear answers to what numbers to call. Is there any such thing as a centralized emergency system like 911? 1. If I end up in a serious accident and imediate medical attention is required (ie ambulance). a) What number do I call if on Samui? b ) What number do I call if in random Thai city/village? 2. Police a) What number do I call if on Samui? b ) What number do I call if in random Thai city/village? Also, I would like to know more about the hospital/emergency situation on Samui. 3. What hospital is my best option If in a serious accident? 4. What hospital will they most likely bring a farang if he is so injured that he can't communicate?

joe84330 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 your post is probably sincere and deserves legit responses but you're about to find out in a few moments through some inevitable comments that you are better off not involving the police at all, in almost any encounter and that there is no need to call an ambulance, five have probably already been called for you.

samuijimmy Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 This LINK is pinned & has all the relevant information regarding Samui. I am not trying to be critical here, as this could be useful information....... but many of the numbers posted on this link where done by SBK & Limbos (back in 2008) where posted before the telephone number system changed from 9 digits to 10... I believe I am correct there? If someone can say where to find a copy of the Yellow Pages (never seen, that I remember?) but I'll take on the task of updating the numbers... with the 9 digits.... to 10.... :jap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have checked various places to no avail... even checked out some maps, which have various numbers for police & hospitals, but print so small you can hardly read it...
