What is Travel Health Insurance

What is Travel Health Insurance for Thailand

Although Thailand is our neighbour, the climatic conditions and cuisine vary significantly. The risk of falling ill is exceptionally high if you do not take necessary precautions with your diet or fail to stay hydrated in the country’s hot tropical climate. However, with travel health insurance, you need not worry, especially about finances.

From hospitalisation to paying for doctor's consultation charges and medication invoices, we cover everything. Even expenses related to dental issues that arise during the trip are covered.

A key feature of our travel insurance for a Thailand trip is that if you are stranded on an island without hospitals or experienced medical practitioners, we not only arrange emergency evacuation but also cover associated charges.

Present a Passport with two blank pages and a validity remaining for at least six months

A correctly filled visa application form

Best Time To Visit Thailand

November to March

This is the best time to explore Thailand. You can expect cool and dry weather, and travelling to west coast beaches is highly recommended during this period. However, being the peak season, expect higher hotel and flight prices.

May to October

While not ideally the best time, these monsoon months are recommended if you are on a restricted budget. Given the low tourist footfall, you can get accommodation and flights at much lower prices.

Thailand Safety And Precautionary Measures To Be Undertaken

  • When flying to Thailand between March and June, apply enough sunscreen while exploring tourist spots, especially beaches, to protect yourself from the harsh sun rays.

  • Love Bangkok's nightlife? Avoid going to poorly lit areas or leaving your drink unattended.

  • Restaurants in Thailand offer food you might not be used to seeing on your plate, but it might not necessarily cause stomach aches or illness. It is best to communicate your preferences with the restaurant staff.

  • Never go to isolated beaches; the risk of getting looted is always high.
