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?

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

Check out AXA's UK site though, looks like they might have a solution

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