TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation centers on finding travel insurance options for individuals over 75 years old, particularly for a 30-day coverage period. Participants recommend multiple providers, including Tipinsure, AXA, and Dhipaya Insurance, highlighting that options may be limited for those aged 75 and older. Tipinsure has a COVID-19 specific policy that is frequently mentioned as being favorable for this age group. Other discussions include experiences with other providers and tips for navigating insurance requirements for travel to Thailand.

I’m 80 and found it. Thailand pass received too. Here it is. Got the info from this site over a year ago. Dhipaya insurance public company limited ( Covid). Thailand based is required. I will be leaving for Thailand to the Isaan area
*****
. Good luck, a bit pricey. They cover ages 1-99. Initially I got just a receipt so request your full policy and vitrification as you will need it for Thailand pass.

cost and availability. You do the research.

Up to now there are few policies available to those age 75+.

I know as I am 77 and have been looking.

Although...
@Arawan ******
