ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all, which insurance have you purchased and roughly how much did it cost? So far I've looked into AXA Inbound Travel Insurance, Luma Thailand Pass, Mister Prakan Thailand Pass and World Trips Atlas International.

World Trips is by far the cheapest but they do not explicitly say $100k COVID coverage.

What are your thoughts? 

Thanks!

I used Arawan Namak for AXA also. Everything very quick and for the price it wasn't worth hunting any further. The main thing is the cover for hospital if you test positive but don't even feel unwell

It must say 100K USD COVID-19 insurance.

IF you test positive for COVID-19 in quarantine, you will be taken to the hospital regardless if you are symptomatic or not. SOME insurances do not pay out if you do not show symptoms (and trying to fake it may not count).

I know TravelWings does not cover asymptotic COVID-19.

I used Arawan Namak as many others have also ask her for a quote to compare.
