Travel insurance is indeed required for tourists traveling to Thailand, with a minimum coverage of $20,000 USD, specifically stating Covid-19 coverage.

You need travel insurance but it usually won’t cover the 6,000$ Thai Hospitel scam if they catch you with a PCR… it’s really better the get omicron before traveling to Thailand.
