TOP 10 Phone Numbers for Your Trip to Koh Samui

A trip abroad is a real adventure! But a holiday in a foreign country also comes with its own risks! In this article we've put together the most important phone numbers to make sure everything runs smoothly, even in emergencies! With this list you'll always have the right number on hand! Please make sure to get a SIM card as soon as possible after you arrive! You can get one right at the airport, at phone shops, or at any 7-Eleven or Family Mart! Everyone wants to tell their loved ones about their adventures, but you don't always have a good enough internet connection to use one of the well-known apps like Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Skype or similar. Although both regular internet and mobile internet in Thailand are very well developed (in fact, often FAR BETTER than back home for many travelers!), outages can still happen. If you then use a regular phone connection, possibly even with roaming active, just a few minutes of calling can get very expensive. There's a simple solution here: use one of the available, cheap dialing prefixes! You just need to use the right prefix! Dialing Prefix --> 009 + (your country's international dialling code) + phone number --> 00500 + (your country's international dialling code) + phone number --> 00400 + (your country's international dialling code) + phone number --> 1234 + (your country's international dialling code) + phone number Try out the different prefixes and see if a connection goes through! Availability can vary from provider to provider! Yes, that's us :) And we're happy to help you out with advice and support! If you have questions or get stuck on a particular problem, feel free to contact us! We don't offer help by phone, but we do through our convenient live chat! Thailand is a Buddhist country, and animals are generally never killed! As a result, stray animals that fall ill are often left to their fate before a vet gets involved. The "Dog and Cat Rescue" organization is happy to help in such cases. Just give them a call, the service is free! But of course, a small donation is always appreciated!

In this case it's important to act fast and inform your bank directly about the loss. A quick pickpocket trick or carelessly leaving your wallet/bag lying around can lead to an unpleasant situation. That's why we recommend always having your bank's phone number on hand! So that your full medical history is available if you fall ill, it's very important to have your family doctor's direct number on hand! They can inform the treating doctor about pre-existing conditions, allergies, and other important details. In the worst case, you might be too unwell to communicate, in which case only your family doctor can give reliable information. We always recommend taking out travel health insurance before you leave!!! The range of options is huge, and it's often hard to know which provider to choose. Here's a short list of the a couple of well-known international providers worth comparing: 1. Pacific Cross 2. April Group It is also worth checking specialist travel insurers based in your own country, since local providers often offer great value too. If you're bitten by a snake (don't worry, this is VERY VERY rare) or another venomous animal, we recommend going directly to the hospital in Nathon! They keep the most common antivenoms and vaccines on site, so you can get the right treatment right away if needed!

Most nations maintain one there, and a quick search will get you the right phone number and address.
