Thai Travel Insurance
Before embarking on a trip abroad is good practice to take out a good medical insurance. Thai health facilities are not free and private ones have high costs, the risk of finding yourself without insurance coverage is not a good idea. Stipulate one before you leave for your vacation, which in addition to covering medical expenses includes the return of patient. Always carry with you a copy of passport and quittance of medical insurance with the number of company to call in case of emergency. There are many insurance companies that offer good health insurance, most you can do online, otherwise you can ask to your travel agent. Always check the clauses covering risks caused by sports activities, and also those concerning traffic accidents, often insurance does not cover the risks caused by driving scooters exceeding 50cc, unfortunately in Thailand all scooters are more than 100 cc and hence you will find yourself without insurance coverage.
