TLDR : Answer Summary

A traveler from England inquires about the necessity of health insurance when traveling to Thailand on a 30-day visa exemption that requires Covid insurance. Comments from the community simplify the requirements, stating that only Covid insurance is currently needed, with some suggesting that any foreign health insurance should suffice as it covers Covid-related illnesses.

A foreign health insurance is enough, because Covid is an illness and is automatically insured. The only thing you need is a confirmation of your assurance that Covid is fused to 10,000 US dollars
