November 9, 20196 yr Hello. I am wondering if anyone can help me? I purchased travel insurance from Canada for 30 days. I have since decided to stay another 30 days - but cannot buy travel insurance out of the county. It is also unknown at this stage if they (the original insurer) will extend my policy. I find this ridiculous, but there you go. My main concern is short term medical emergency, or hospitalisation. Q. Does anyone know of a short-term health insurance provider that I can buy coverage inside Thailand? I just need a policy that will come in effect on purchase that would cover me for medical expenses for up to 30 days. I am 46. Thank you. Daily Oliver. BC Canada

November 9, 20196 yr Yes, World Nomads. Easily bought online. But most travel policies will let you extend.
November 10, 20196 yr Author Thank you - I did check World Nomads but the reviews were terrible. I looks like a fake insurance company that has used the marketing reach of "paid affiliates" bloggers to reach customers. They seem to create a false sense of security by charging a high premium. Hundreds of people have never been able to settle a claim, and in most cases are just ignored or cannot reach them. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/worldnomads.com I will call my original insurer, but may need o find something locally here in TH. If you ave any ideas? Thank you. D/O
November 10, 20196 yr It is not a fake site, it is a legitimate company, been around for years. Pretty much any company, the online reviews you will find will be bad as people only post when they have a complaint. Most local Thai travel policies would be for Thais going abroad. AETNA Thailand does have a plan for short term stays in Thailand and that is the only thing that comes to mind that might fit your situation - I know it is for stays of less than 6 months but I don't know if you can get as little as 30 days. https://www.aetna.co.th/en/individuals/health-insurance/individual/detail.aspx?iid=5
