Insurance..

[Oliver2]

I have travel insurance from my bank for medical expenses, cancellation, theft etc. I did phone them asking about Thai Pass insurance, but they had never heard of it. I think I will contact them again although these figures are relatively trivial when set against the cost of one night in the bars with boys.

I was able to get a certificate from my UK insurers, stipulating that it must be brief enough to download.
But it was a damn nuisance, requiring a number of phone calls.

I do urge you to keep your UK insurance but for the purpose of the Thai Pass get the Thai Covid-specific one. Although I paid 500bht for mine, i could have found cheaper versions. Some only accommodate youngsters below seventy-five, however.

I felt it best to avoid anything that may hinder, slow down or invalidate the Thai Pass application. I note that my Thai policy has been submitted and accepted by the powers-that-be.

I think you meant 5,000 Baht as you stated earlier. Unless people are travelling in the next few days, it might be worthwhile postponing spending that money on a probably worthless Thai covid specific policy as there are reports in Bangkok of the Thai Pass requirement being cancelled from 1st June.
