In my experience the Thai Consulate in HCMC is really good, they helped me a lot when I went to Thailand last year. Sorry to hear the Embassy in Hanoi is tough.
It's a group of insurance companies directed by the government to pool together to offer this insurance so foreigners could meet the Govt entrance requirements, thus the .org. There were plenty of news articles announcing it when it started. I bought 3 months worth before, so I have no idea about the 30 day max.
It's a .org site, not .com. If it's 3,000 per month it's definitely changed from before. The govt had insurance companies organize to offer special, Covid only insurance policies back around Oct 2020, and this is it, precisely to fulfill the entrance requirements. Hopefully you'll find something to suit your needs from your various options ☺️
Last time I entered Thailand I just used the govt insurance portal for Covid insurance..but it only covers Covid-related medical expenses, not any other conditions. If that's all you need, it just takes a few minutes to process.
I would just confirm I'd be the only one in the vehicle, to avoid any contact with a potentially positive person and end up getting thrown in isolation for 10 days
I've only heard that with a Thai insurance policy they will pay for asymptomatic coverage in both a hospital and hospitel. I had only heard that insurance won't cover the close contact quarantine, because you don't even have Covid at that point, if ever. One person in the group just today said he thought AXA did cover the close contact quarantine, which would be great, but I'd have to see that in writing in the policy to be confident.
I've done 2 15 night quarantines, Thailand and Vietnam, never once could go outside, one no open windows. Rough without an open window. I would've killed to set foot ouside for an hour!
