baboon Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 In September I am off to the DPRK for a wee jaunt but need travel insurance. No UK company will insure me as I am not counted as residing there. Will any Thai company be able to help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all your private adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

think_too_mut Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 World Nomads And you think it will insure anyone travelling to North Korea? This doggy site may resell what can be bought at any airport in the world with much more warnings and instructions - criss-cross between the countries listed. If you fell ill in NK, what claim would you have against someone who sold you a 80$ insurance over the net? Rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baboon Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their underwriters would deny any money claims from the "banned" areas. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
