Popular Post snoop1130 Posted April 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2023 An activist is urging Malaysians who wish to drive while travelling in Thailand to take out full insurance coverage policies to reduce problems in the case of an accident. Abdul Halim Othman, also known as Cikgu Joe Satun, is a Malaysian activist living in Satun province in southern Thailand. He said the issue of insurance should be taken seriously because of the high cost of hospital treatment in Thailand. The activist said that some Malaysians who hop over the border into southern Thailand for short getaways sometimes avoid purchasing insurance either to save money or because they are unaware of the difficulties that can arise while trying to fix the aftermath of an accident. The activist told Bernama… “As soon as we step past the Malaysia-Thailand border, even for a short meal in Danok, we are already subject to the regulations of the Thai authorities. “Insurance will act as our ‘legal aid’ that will come to our rescue. If nothing happens, it’s okay. But if anything does happen, it will be tough without full coverage. So you need to remember this before it really happens.” Abdul speaks from experience, volunteering to help many Malaysians involved in traffic accidents in Thailand since 2011.

Peterphuket Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 It happens the other way round, doesn't it? If I drive from Thailand to Malaysia I must also have insurance and make sure my license plate is legible, why doesn't it happen vise versa? Or isn't that checked? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthainess Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 No mention of driving license and IDP having all the insurance in the world is no good unless you have correct license or they checked at the boarder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
