Travel Insurance in Thailand

[nong38]

I am thinking of taking the lady back to the UK for a holiday and touring the country, she will need to get travel insurance to cover her for the UK but where do I look in Thailand for Travel Insurance? Asked at the bank and they do not do it, is it a case of trying each of the Insurance companies or well where is best?

Two month trip is looking likely, and advice would be good, thanks.

I looked at the FCO.UK site for info which you'll find here: https://www.gov.uk/general-visit-visa

But under the heading, 3. "Documents you must provide", there's no mention of an insurance requirement.

This would seem to differ from the rules pertaining to a Schengen visa: http://www.vfsglobal.com/austria/uk/schengenvisa_docreq.html

Probably your best bet would be to either phone, or email the Embassy in Bangkok and clarify the position with them: https://www.gov.uk/government/world/organisations/british-embassy-bangkok/office/british-embassy-bangkok

Insurance for what...everything is for free in the UK regardless of what far flung country or planet you come from...unless you want to save against lost luggage or cancelled flights whats the point.

I know for Thai visiting Schengen countries travel insurance is required in order to obtain visa (reason the health cover). Could be the same for UK, so that would be a good reason.

Please go back to what ever you are drinking or smoking!

Pattaya Phom!! Where do you get the idea every thing is free in the UK?

You are wrong Thai nationals have to pay for treatment in hospitals/doctors surgery.
