What should a good Thailand travel insurance policy cover?
Before leaving for Thailand, it’s important to understand which covers you really need. The Thai healthcare system meets good standards, but private facilities can be significantly expensive: some guarantees are essential to travel with peace of mind.
The main covers to compare:
Extension of stay
Coverage of extra food and accommodation costs when an unexpected event — illness, injury or mandatory quarantine — forces you to stay at your destination longer than planned. A guarantee that is often underestimated but can weigh heavily on your actual costs.
Baggage
Compensation in the event of loss, theft or damage to your baggage during the trip. Some policies also cover delivery delays, reimbursing the purchase of essential items while you wait for your baggage.
Travel Assistance
Services from an operations center active 24 hours a day: telephone medical consultations, arranging and monitoring hospital admissions, sending a doctor, medical repatriation and logistical support in an emergency far from home.
Medical expenses while traveling
Reimbursement of medical visits, hospital stays, surgery and emergency care abroad. It’s the most important cover: always check the coverage limit before choosing. In Thailand private clinics offer good standards but at very high costs for foreigners, especially for hospital admissions: that’s why it’s advisable to choose a high coverage limit.

Frequently asked questions
Is travel insurance in Thailand compulsory?
No, for tourists travel insurance is not currently compulsory to enter Thailand: it was only required during the COVID emergency. It remains strongly recommended, however, because the local healthcare system meets good standards but private facilities charge foreigners very high costs, particularly for hospital admissions. That’s why it’s wise to travel with a policy that has a high coverage limit for medical expenses.
What is the purpose of travel insurance in Thailand?
It protects you from unexpected costs during your trip to Thailand: it covers medical expenses in the event of illness or injury, the assistance of an operations center active 24 hours a day, and damage to or loss of your baggage. Given the high costs of Thai private clinics for foreigners, it’s the most effective way to handle an emergency without paying large sums out of your own pocket.
How much does travel insurance for Thailand cost?
The cost depends on the length of the trip, the travellers’ age, the destination and the coverage limits chosen; for non-European destinations like Thailand, where healthcare costs are high, premiums tend to be higher. The best way to know how much you’ll spend is to compare the policies available on CoverMyTrip and choose the one with the best balance between coverage and price.
How to seek medical assistance in case of need?
Every policy includes the contact details of the operations center to call in an emergency. From your CoverMyTrip account area you’ll always find the number to call, available 24 hours a day, no matter which country you’re in. By contacting the center before incurring any medical expenses, you can get guidance on affiliated facilities and possible direct payment of your care.
