Hi I’ve been with Genki for over a year now. I’ve successfully claimed when I was in Australia and also here in Thailand. Got the money back in about a week.

Used to have Nomad Wings and switched to Genki but I don't remember why 😅 I never had to use either thankfully

I've had solid experiences with Genki thus far on their explorer plan, all claims have been approved and reimbursed within 2 weeks generally regardless of where I've traveled using it.

isnt it better to have an insurance that pays the hospital directly?Ben ******
Normally, I would say yes if you're not comfortable floating medical costs for a few weeks. In my case, my plan pays upfront for hospital emergencies requiring inpatient care, all other claims are paid after the fact minus a 50 Euro deductible per claim. In exchange I pay 35 Euro a month, so it's cheap.

Any recommendations for local insurance providers in Thailand? Are they better than genki?

Genki is the better one, Safetywing don’t like paying directly to hospitals, you will need to pay & claim back.
