TLDR : Answer Summary
The community suggests purchasing travel insurance before departing from your home country to ensure comprehensive coverage that includes flight cancellation, health issues, and potential repatriation. Popular options mentioned include Chapka, SafetyWing, and Luma and Falcon for competitive rates. Many recommend exploring insurance through credit card providers for additional benefits, and check websites such as checkdi.com for insurance options specific to Thailand.

Use your credit card to pay for flights etc. Free travel insurance for 6 months, then contact them and pay for an additional 1 month.(Allianz) (I use Wpac card)

You should be getting travel insurance before you leave home, as you don’t say what country you live in, but if you live in Australia for example you can purchase a 12 month travel insurance policy.

I'm guessing you've never travelled and had travel insurance before. People generally take it out soon as they book their flight so everything is covered from day one. *Edit. Yes a 7 month policy at home might take a bit of a search.

Travel insurance is best bought in your homecountry, since it then also covers repatriation and / or relatives to come to you if serious illness / accident etc.

Most people get travel insurance at home before they leave, then flight, delay, cancellation, baggage, health, money, passport etc all covered.

 but most bought in home country are for maximum 31 days. Best you can get is 60 days. He wants 7 months - hence the question
