Thai Tourist Police Reiterate 24/7 Support via 1155 Hotline
The Tourist Police Bureau has reaffirmed its commitment to assisting international visitors, particularly Chinese tourists, through its 24-hour 1155 hotline and mobile application.
On October 22, 2026, Lieutenant General Pongsiam Meekanthong, Commissioner of the Tourist Police Bureau, announced an initiative to enhance support and safety services for international travelers in Thailand. This effort aligns with current government and Ministry of Tourism and Sports directives aimed at prioritizing visitor security and service efficiency.
The Tourist Police are coordinating with the Royal Thai Police, the Immigration Bureau, and other relevant agencies to ensure comprehensive assistance for tourists. For those requiring information or emergency support, the 1155 hotline remains operational 24 hours a day, offering services in eight different languages. Additionally, travelers can report incidents or request help through the 'Thailand Tourist Police' mobile application.
For residents and travelers, this announcement serves as a reminder of the available channels for official assistance. While the bureau has emphasized its readiness to coordinate with various departments to address tourist needs, the specific operational protocols for inter-agency cooperation during complex incidents remain internal. Travelers are encouraged to utilize these official channels for verified information and support during their stay in Thailand.
