It can be very expensive to purchase on your own without insurance. I never travel with out it, but that is me and so far I have never needed to cash in on it at all. But just because I have not needed so far, does not make me thnk I may not need it in the future. The company I choose is IMG ( Internatinal Medical Group) I thiink Traveler Jim represents this company on Sawatdee. He would be a source of information on this type of insurance.
