Do I need a full year of travel insurance for my trips to Thailand, or can I just get a few months' coverage?

So... 36 years old, traveling for 7 years.. better look at travel insurance haha.

Saw nomads, 2 months.. covers 5m pounds about 136quid. Decent.

I’m assuming.. I don’t need to get a years worth of travel insurance to get in and out of Thailand just a few months? Any other requirements anyone knows about?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the necessity and duration of travel insurance for short trips to Thailand, specifically whether it is sufficient to obtain coverage for only a few months instead of a full year. The discussion includes suggestions for travel insurance providers and the importance of including coverage for COVID-19.

I've been very happy with World Nomads insurance. Bought it 3 times in a row. Only covers 6 months at a time

Check out AXA travel insurance as well. Might be cheaper. Covers you for your trip out of Thailand plus up to 14 days when you get back, if you catch the virus. The Emerald plan is the only plan that provides over $100,000 for medical expenses

Unfortunately not, it's only an option for those in Thailand right now that need to leave and come back
