Go for a travelinsurance from the homecountry, that typical includes transport back to the homecountry, if needed in sewere ( or worse) cases, or to get relatives to Thailand.

When we came over last year we used justcover.ie We are both in our late 60’s and early 70’s. We got 12 months cover and it was €230. We are from Cork.
