Is it really costly?
Here 30 days with $100,000 coverage costs $85 total for 60 yo, option "COVID" costs additional $0.3 per day for vaccinated person and $1.5 per day for non vaccinated.

As a percentage of my total holiday bill, it is not costly.

In terms of value for money, it is terrible. I figured that out last year by calculating the odds of a claim and multiplying by the hospital bill. Sure enough, The Bangkok Post confirmed they were paying out something ridiculously low like 2~3% of premiums per month. Bear in mind most policies wouldn't go past 3 months, as most visitors will be on 60 or 90 day visas. So ~10% paid out. Any kind of insurance policy where they pay out less than 10% of premiums is a scam.

However, will it stop me going to Thailand ? Absolutely not, when alternatives like Cambodia are closed and have some kind of insurance requirement of their own.
