Getting Short Term Insurance for Your Thai Holiday

February 1, 2013 By Teresa

Visiting Thailand is one experience that will never be erased from the mind of tourists. Not surprising at all because of the country’s rich culture, warm people and interesting attractions.

Affordability is also among the major factors why many people flock to Thailand each year. The country’s Tourism Authority recorded 21 million visitors in 2012 and aims to reach 24.5 million this 2013.

Tourists from America, Europe and Australia can enjoy a luxurious holiday in this Asian country for several days or weeks. Their dollars and euros will enable them to splurge on a lot of things in Thailand from hotel accommodation, food, tours, transportation and souvenir items including clothes, shoes, accessories and jewelry.

Apart from their budget, however, tourists planning to go to Thailand also need to ensure they have the necessary travel insurance. Getting a short term international travel insurance is most ideal. This can be purchased online by any traveler and covers trips from as short as a few days up to a year.

Having an insurance coverage will help you in case of emergencies. It will let you avoid additional expenses in the event you need medical treatment overseas or if you need to be repatriated.

A short stay or single trip insurance is normally for a specific destination only hence, it is more affordable compared to multi-trip policies. But despite its affordability, travelers can be assured of their peace of mind as they are still provided with complete coverage.

Senior citizens can also purchase this type of insurance when traveling. In fact, it is more beneficial to them than buying annual policies which usually set an age limit.

Check different websites instead of just one before buying your short term policy. Regardless of your location, you can visit Expedia.com.au as an example which offers various services including travel insurance plans.

Keep in mind that it’s best to shop around first and compare rates as well as coverage levels so you can get the best deals available. The experts would tell you that if you want to save more, purchasing from an independent provider than from a travel agent is ideal.
