Lost phone · Thailand
Lost or stolen phone in Thailand: the numbers that still work.
In Thailand, emergencies answer on 191, and there's a separate tourist-assistance line (1155) staffed for visitors - both are on this page.Your phone is gone and you're holding a borrowed one, so everything here dials from any handset - no apps, no account, every number a tap-to-call link. Work top to bottom.

Emergency numbers
Reporting it to the police
Call the Tourist Police on 1155 (24h, English) or go to the nearest police station / Tourist Police office. Bring your passport, describe time and location, and ask for a copy of the report with a case number. The report typically takes 1-3 hours and is required for insurance and for a SIM replacement.

Blocking your SIM
These are Thailand's carriers - use them if your number is local. If your SIM is from your home country, call your own carrier's lost-phone line instead; nobody here can block a foreign SIM.
| Carrier | Lost-phone line | Official page |
|---|---|---|
| AIS (Advanced Info Service) | +66-2-271-9000 works from abroad | Block online ↗ |
| Dial 1175 (AIS Call Center) from within Thailand to suspend the SIM and start IMEI blocking - shortcode works only in Thailand. From abroad call +66-2-271-9000. Replace SIM at any AIS shop with passport + police report. | ||
| TrueMove H (True-dtac) | domestic lines only - see notes | Block online ↗ |
| Dial 1242 (True Call Center) from within Thailand to suspend the line - shortcode works only in Thailand. dtac is now merged into True. No single reliable international lost-SIM line could be confirmed (sources variously cite +66-89100-1331 and +66-99998-1242); if abroad, use the True app or website support channel. | ||
| NT (National Telecom) | domestic lines only - see notes | Block online ↗ |
| NT Contact Center 1888 or 02-401-2222 (24h), Thai language. 1888 works only in Thailand; from abroad dial +66-2-401-2222 (not confirmed as a lost-SIM line). | ||
Your embassy
If your passport went with the phone, your embassy or consulate issues the emergency travel document - the local police can't. The official directory of foreign missions in Thailand is here: find your embassy ↗. Bring the police report from the step above.
Getting back online
Tourist prepaid SIMs and travel eSIMs (AIS, TrueMove H, dtac, plus airport and 7-Eleven counters) are cheap and easy; buying a physical SIM requires passport registration under Thai SIM-registration rules. A replacement travel eSIM installed on a borrowed spare phone is often the fastest route back online.
