Want to know more about our travel insurance for Thailand?
Traveling to Thailand comes with big questions — here are some honest answers.
Travel insurance was once a requirement for tourists traveling to Thailand, but it’s no longer mandatory. However, while you’re exploring the wonders that Thailand’s scenic landscape holds, it helps to have trustworthy coverage and travel assistance. Your journey may not unfold as expected, and if you face obstacles, travel insurance for Thailand can reimburse you for unforeseen expenses.
Whether you plan to spend your days laying low at the beach or trying more adventurous activities on your all-inclusive getaway, it’s important to look into travel insurance for Thailand. It can help if you experience illness, injury, delayed flights, missing luggage, canceled nonrefundable tours, and more during your Southeast Asia getaway.
Before you leave for your vacation in Thailand, you may want to see if the U.S. Department of State posted any travel alerts for Thailand on its travel advisories website.
If a travel advisory arises that could impact your travel insurance, you may see it listed on our travel alerts page. Plus, with a Travelex policy you can also access live security alerts during your Thailand trip via our Travel On app.
Yes, you can. Our travel insurance can help secure your finances on the road. When you include our rental car damage upgrade in your policy, we can reimburse you for unexpected eligible costs that come up from accidents like crashes, flood, fire, and more. This upgrade even offers travel insurance for theft of your belongings from the rental car.
Looking for motorcycle travel insurance? It may be a popular way to get around in Thailand, but we don’t offer motorcycle or moped travel insurance. Our rental car damage upgrade only applies to cars, so if you’re riding a motorcycle or moped as the driver or passenger (including taxis), you won’t be eligible for coverage for any incidents that occur.
Thailand is sure to keep any thrill-seeker satisfied, from rock climbing in Krabi to white water rafting in Pai. But before you bungee jump or zip-line through the jungle, it’s smart to check that your travel insurance policy provides coverage for the adventure activities you intend to try in Thailand.
Your planned adventure activities may already be eligible for coverage under our base plans, such as scuba diving up to a depth of 75 feet, kayaking, river rafting, snorkeling, horseback and elephant riding, and hiking.
However, if you have other sports in mind that aren’t included in the base plans — like skydiving and free diving — our adventure activities upgrade may be a great addition to your policy. Learn more on our adventure travel insurance page, or reach out to our award-winning customer service team for help at 1-800-228-9792.
The reality of vacation planning is you can't always predict what may happen. If you do have to call off your trip, our Ultimate, Advantage, and Essential plans offer trip cancellation coverage for eligible reasons.
Want more cancellation flexibility? You can include our optional cancel for any reason upgrade* with our Ultimate plan, which gives you the freedom to cancel your trip for any reason up to two days before your planned departure. We can refund you 75% of your insured trip expenses ($7,500 maximum), so you don’t have to bear the full financial burden.
To qualify for reimbursement with our any reason cancellation travel insurance, it's essential that you insure all nonrefundable vacation expenses (up to a limit of $10,000) with your policy at the point of purchase. You also need to insure any additional travel arrangements within 14 days of booking them. You must buy the upgrade with our Ultimate plan within 21 days of your initial trip payment and 31 days or more before your departure date.
*Cancel for any fortuitous reason for NY residents.
Yes, we can provide coverage if you’re planning to visit multiple countries on your trip.
Wondering what to enter as the destination when you get a travel insurance quote? Select the destination you’ll be in for most of your trip. For instance, if you plan to visit Thailand for seven days and Cambodia for three days, you should list Thailand as your destination.
Important: We won’t provide coverage while you’re in any of our blocked destinations.
You may feel unsettled by the thought that your pre-existing medical condition could present challenges during your Thailand trip. At Travelex, we can offer coverage for pre-existing medical conditions if you buy our Ultimate plan within 21 days of your initial trip payment and insure all trip costs.
Your credit card may offer minimal travel insurance, but getting coverage from a travel insurance provider like Travelex means you may have broader benefits with higher limits.
Travel insurance for Thailand through a credit card may also have mandatory requirements before coverage can apply, so you’ll have to jump through more hoops to receive reimbursement.
The best time to buy travel insurance for Thailand is right after you make your first trip payment — whether that’s a flight, hotel, or tour deposit. Purchasing early means you’re eligible for more benefits, like trip cancellation coverage, which can help reimburse prepaid, nonrefundable costs if something forces you to cancel before you leave.
That said, you can still purchase a plan anytime up until the day before your departure. Waiting until the last minute, though, may limit what’s included. To explore your options, you can get a quote in seconds and see which plan best fits your Thailand trip.
Travelers to Thailand may encounter a few health concerns worth planning for. Foodborne illnesses are the most common — street food and local water can sometimes lead to stomach issues. Mosquito-borne illnesses, such as dengue fever and (in rural areas) malaria, are also risks depending on where you’re visiting. The country’s tropical climate can bring heat exhaustion or dehydration if you’re outdoors for long stretches.
In more remote islands or rural areas, access to quality medical care can be limited, which is why many visitors choose to carry travel medical insurance for Thailand. This helps ensure you can access treatment or even emergency evacuation if needed, so you can focus on enjoying your trip with less worry.
