In a foreign country, it’s important to feel protected. Whether you’re staying for a couple of weeks, spending the winter, or living permanently in Phuket, insurance can help you avoid unnecessary problems. In this section, we’ve gathered information on the key types of insurance: life and health, property, cars, and motorbikes. We’ll explain what to pay attention to specifically in Thailand, how to choose the right policy, and how to find a reliable insurance company.
Smart insurance can make your stay and life in Phuket easier. We’ve taken into account all the specifics of the island and selected exactly the types of insurance that will be useful for both tourists and expats.
First and foremost, you need to take care of your own safety. In the Life Insurance section, we explain how to choose the right policy and what to pay attention to. Healthcare in Thailand is high quality but quite expensive, so having insurance can help you save money if you need medical services.
For those who have purchased property on the island, the Property Insurance section will be especially relevant. Phuket’s natural conditions — such as high humidity and proximity to the sea (with risks of tsunamis and flooding) — make it essential to protect your assets. The right insurance policy offers peace of mind for homeowners.
Drivers will find the Car and Bike Insurance section particularly useful. Phuket has heavy traffic and unpredictable driving behavior, which increases the risk of accidents. Reliable coverage will give you more confidence on the roads.
If you’re considering buying property on the island, check out the Real Estate Purchase section. There, you’ll find out how to safely complete a transaction and what to pay special attention to when choosing real estate.
