Travel Insurance when visiting Thailand

Featured Replies

I am looking for help in finding a good place to get some medical insurance while in Thailand. I am 54 yrs old and planning to visit for about 3 months on a tourist visa. I do not want to go uninsured. I have read some post about medical insurance but I have not seen anything about travel insurance. I am in USA. 

Some post talked about Pacific Cross but I not sure if I would be inbound or outbound insurance. I am inbound to Thailand and outbound from the US. 

Just looking for either a broker or a company that will provide me a quote.

If you're in the US now and go to google.com and search for 'travel insurance' you will see lots of options.

 

This is the first one in the list :

Medical insurance would usually be for a long term resident, as you're travelling and non resident you will want / need travel insurance instead.

a read the fine print about scooter/motorcycle coverage and having the proper license. 

 

and ask if they will evacuate you back home. because sometimes they say no and just leave you in a Thai hospital.

No Travel policy guarantees to bring you home for treatment. They all reserve the right to either repatriate you or pay for treatment locally if appropriate treatment is available.

 

For 3 months a travel policy is indeed what you need and there are many though the choices narrow if you are older.
