Question for those who have bought travel insurance (AXA or something else) entering with Thailand Pass: If my flight is on Nov 24 (Toronto) and I will arrive on the morning of Nov 26 (Bangkok), when should my start date be for my insurance?

EDIT: No need to baggage/flight insurance

EDIT 2: Starting my insurance on 24 and 26 had no price difference

If it is a single trip policy, you are covered from the date/time you pay in full. If it is an annual multi trip, you are covered from the date you ask your provider to start the policy from.

Up to you and depends on insurance.

For covid cover 26th. If your insurance covers lost baggage, delays etc then 24th
