Travel insurance vs short term insurance in Thailand
Travel insurance policies are also commonly referred to as short term health insurance plans. These policies are designed simply to make sure you get home okay. Typical coverage will include limited inpatient treatment and will exclude any pre-existing conditions you might have.
Do I need travel insurance in Thailand?
Travel insurance policies are generally designed for short term visitors to a country; ensuring that any mishaps can be dealt with easily and quickly so you can continue to enjoy your trip. Of course, purchasing a local health insurance plan can provide more comprehensive coverage, and this can be an option if you’re concerned a travel plan won’t be adequate.
