Thailand Backpacker Insurance
Thailand is firmly established on the backpacker trail which
has its
pros and cons. Travel and accommodation within Thailand are both easy
to
arrange and are very cheap when compared to Europe, North America and
Down Under. However, backpackers are arguably at the most risk of theft
during their travels.
It makes sense to have a specialist backpacker policy that will cover you for an extended period of travel. Thailand has plenty to offer the adventurous traveller, whether it be elephant trekking, white-water rafting, bungy jumping or scuba diving. Always check the details of your policy and ensure you are covered for all the activities you may wish to enjoy. If not included in a standard policy, it is often possible to add them for a small extra premium.
The World Nomads standard policy is suitable for backpackers and is available to residents of most countries. With World Nomads, everything is done online including claims so you don't have to wait until you return home. You can commence and finish your trip anywhere; it doesn't have to be your country of residence. This makes it ideal for those already in Thailand if they haven't yet sorted out insurance. There is an option to extend the policy as many times as you like to fit how long you are away for.
