Will any Thai company be able to help?

Many companies, including mine, have a ban on any travel to DPRK. No insurance is possible.

Thanks for the replies. I checked out a couple of companies today who told me they would give me accident cover only. Any condition [heart attack, etc.] requiring hospital treatment elsewhere was out of the question.

Algeria, Afganistan, Iraq, North Korea, Yemen.

Well, if you are happy, go and feel secure and looked after in those places. I just would not.
