they definitely check. Thais are All About The Paperwork. Contact AXA for insurance. $90 for a 2 month $250,000 policy with no deductible, all inclusive coverage that also covers trip cancelation, late flight costs and more. So worth it. Contact your airline about other requirements. Have a great trip!
No one stayed with me at hospital in Bangkok. The nurses spoke English and were very nice. I had stomach issues and they gave me meds for years when I left. 🙂
