Is it worth getting insurance for Phuket, or can you do without it and avoid overpaying?

Definitely yes, it is worth buying insurance for Phuket. Formally, no one will check whether you have medical insurance. However, experienced travelers do not go on a trip without a policy.

Insurance in Phuket with suitable options is a real “safety cushion” in a foreign country. Acclimatization, sunburn, allergic reactions, bites from exotic insects, consequences of road incidents with motorbikes and tuk-tuks are just a small part of the situations because of which tourists go to local hospitals. Medical care for foreigners in Thailand is paid, and the cost of services is quite high.

For example:
– doctor’s appointment – from 2,000–4,000 baht
– X-ray, ultrasound, tests – 5,000–10,000 baht
– hospitalization or surgery – tens and hundreds of thousands of baht

Insurance covers these expenses fully or almost fully, including medications and examinations. To arrange reliable insurance, leave your contact details in the form below.
