Thailand Travel Insurance
Why Do I Need Travel Insurance?
Even well-prepared travellers can have an accident, catch a disease, get delayed in transmit, or lose a valuable piece of equipment. A standard policy can lessen the impact of all of these. Bad things are unlikely to happen but travel insurance will save a huge amount of time, bother, and money if they do, and can prevent an inconvenience from becoming a serious issue.
Protect Your Health And Your Bank Balance
Though generally safe, Thailand has some health risks which can be ruinously expensive to treat. The Zika virus and Rabies are both present. And air pollution can exacerbate existing conditions. The standard of private hospitals can be very high, but this comes at a cost.
What About Activities While I’m Away?
Make sure you are covered for any activities you’re planning to try. A standard travel insurance policy can provide coverage to scuba diving to 40 metres, which is the recreational limit, as well as 150 other common activities.
Travel insurance is not expensive and well worth it for the peace of mind.
