Most prudent people always have a contingency plan in case of an emergency, such as an accident or a sudden health problem. By its definition, an emergency does not mean there is time to take action to prevent it; it happens all of a sudden. It’s important to have a plan in place to deal with major emergencies.
If you do not speak Thai and you have a sudden acute health problem, go to the nearest international hospital, they always have interpreters.
The main thing is to get medical help as quickly as possible. Later on, you can ask to be transferred to another hospital, if necessary.
If your problems are not related to your health, contact the numbers listed, depending on the situation.
