Medical Assistance
In an emergency, we recommend you contact an ambulance on:
- 1724 in Bangkok
- 1669 in all other parts of Thailand
The standard of medical facilities varies in Thailand. Private hospitals in major cities have high standards of medical care. Services can be limited in other areas.
Hospitals and doctors often need to confirm your insurance before they'll treat you, even in an emergency. Otherwise, you may need to pay cash up-front. Costs can be very high.
You may need to ask family or friends to send money. The Australian Government can't pay your bill or lend you money. See the Consular Services Charter to understand how and when we can help.
Please refer to Smartraveller for further information on medical assistance overseas.
