TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses travel insurance options for expats in Thailand, focusing on Post Office insurance and AXA. Many users share negative experiences with Post Office insurance, while others confirm that AXA Thailand is still accepting new customers and offers comprehensive coverage, including for COVID-19. Suggestions for alternative insurance providers like Sainsbury’s and Coverwise are also provided.

Try coverwise, if you speak to them they can actually send you the breakdown of your covid cover on the insurance policy for you to send for your thailand pass.
