Emergency number not working in Pattaya
A thief was trying to snatch a gold chain from my neck for the second time in Thailand and this time I had put in the short number for the Police in Pattaya. I got the number from local Pattaya TV.
I got one number and that was 191 it went to a fax after 3 signals.
I had another number and that was 1155 to the tourists police in Pattaya and that one did not even work it just disconnect.
So I called 1337 the Pattaya information center and the operator said he could take my claim but before I had the chance to finish the call a Thai police come riding on his bike.
From then on the operation went very smooth and I could see that the Police had set up roadblocks around everywhere in a matter of minutes and stopped everyone that matched the thief’s description. Too bad that they did not have my call any sooner they might had time to catch the thief.
I asked one of the twenty police guys looking for the thief for another number and he gave me this one
038424186
It goes directly to the Pattaya police radio center and that’s good if you are in the need for some fast action. If someone tries to snatch your bag or chain in Pattaya please do not think they will not catch them but make sure you call the police right away they are quick to put up road blocks.
