TLDR : Answer Summary

The original post inquires whether the UK is classified as a mid-risk or high-risk country regarding travel insurance when flying to Thailand. Several comments discuss personal experiences with insurance providers, particularly around COVID-19 coverage, the reliability of different brokers, and recommendations for specific plans like those from AXA and Luma Health Insurance. Participants also share insights on the processes for claims and direct billing options in case of hospitalization due to COVID-19.

No waiting period (Cover since first day in Thailand), cover for covid positive (with and without symptom) and other medical expenses, direct billing available for inpatient treatments and direct access to their in house expat doctor (speaking in english, french and thai) for second medical opinion and medical referral. For more information you can contact directly
