covid insurance to transit through bkk airport

[jspill]

Hi, 

 

Do we really need the $100k covid coverage health insurance, just to transit through Suvarnbhumi without entering Thailand. I read that online. Asking for a Burmese friend flying from LHR to RGN, transiting BKK (no direct flights). And if yes what's the cheapest policy for her to get. Thanks

The CAAT announcement shown on the page you linked states the same thing. See: https://www.caat.or.th/en/archives/56377

They could get 30 day of covid 19 insurance if they do not have any insurance that covers it.

no you do not need it as long as you are in transit and do not leave the air port flight changing area.

It was dropped but the CAAT did not bother changing it in that announcement.
