Tourists planning a visit to Thailand now have an alternative for travel insurance if they cannot get it locally. Effective from 25th July 2014, visitors will be able to buy the insurance coverage online for a broad range of unforeseen events ranging from accidents, trip cancellation, loss or damage of baggage / personal belongings, emergency hotel accommodation, etc. The special online insurance coverage scheme known as the “Thailand Travel Shield”, has been set up by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) in cooperation with four reputed Thai insurance companies, Muang Thai Insurance, Chao Phaya Insurance, Siam City Insurance, and Krungthai Panich Insurance.
