Inbound Travel Policy For Thailand (for A Tourist)

[MyPenRye]

Comparing the document that I got from a broker from Thailand to a booklet that I got here in Canada (with half of it being about exclusions ), it certainly look as if something is missing. I was wondering if I could get some advice from some of you who will certainly be more knowledgeable or experienced that I am at this. (The document is at the end of this post. I am sorry for the poor quality, but this is the best I could do with what I was given.)

I'm going to stay in the North of LOS for 4 months (apart from a few days in BKK). I will probably be using buses, Tuk-Tuks, and ride (occasionally) a motorcycle and a bicycle (often). The only sport I will probably do is play tennis, ping pong, volleyball, and hike (and ride a bicycle). BTW, I almost never drink and never drink heavily, don't do drugs,... and I am in really good health.

I think I should ask to see the document I am going to be responsible for (to sign). Maybe on it, will be a number of ... exclusions and details. Am I right?

There were a few additional details given on another sheet. Here there are.

1000 bath deductible on:

> medical expenses,

> baggage loss, damage, or delay,

> loss of cash and trav. cheques

Premiums (in baths)

> diamond plan (single/month): 1,700

> gold plan (single/month): 1,300

> silver plan (single/month): 700

NOTE:

> Premium includes tax and stamp duty

> 6 months max.

> 2 times for optional sports coverage

> medical emergency. benefits to cover non-professional sports

(BTW: Any idea on what to do for a theft/rental policy?)

Addendum:

The $2500 hospital allowance/day looks suspect. No?

BTW, this was provided to me from e-insure Thailand (as advertised and recommended on ajarn.com).

Thank you all for your help in this regard.

Perhaps they mean 2,500 Baht, since all other amounts in that document are in Baht.

Yes! The typo was confirmed. It's indded 2500 baths.

BTW, this policy did not cover for any computer theft or loss and only $500 for camera (incl. lenses). Useless for me.
