Cabinet sets 911 as central emergency number

BANGKOK, 14 July 2015 (NNT) – The Cabinet has agreed to designate the number 911 as the new national emergency hotline in a bid to prevent confusion caused by the many numbers in use.

Following the Cabinet meeting, Deputy Government Spokesperson Maj Gen Sansern Kaewkamnerd stated that the draft law related to the national emergency number has been given the green light. As a result, the main channel to accept emergency calls from people will be changed to 911 as stipulated by the bill when it is enacted into law in the future.
