Whilst comparing travel quotes from different travel insurances for Thailand, make sure you are aware of the following:

• The benefits available and the limit of the Sum Insured for each. For example, in Thailand, you’ll need at least 30$ a day for a financial emergency. Hence, it’s important to see how much your travel insurance plan will cover in case of any financial emergency. The same goes for medical and other emergencies. Make sure the plan ensures you meet Thailand’s standards.
• Terms of claims. The terms can often be tricky and very rare, meaning that despite the benefit, you’ll never really be able to claim it.
• The claims process by checking the company’s previous claim records. After all, that’s the whole point of insurance.

• Baggage Delays in Transit Become Easier to Deal with - You may experience baggage delays in transit while travelling to a foreign land. Our travel insurance policy will help cover the financial losses during such times.
• Get Coverage for Hospitalisation - If you experience health complications requiring hospitalisation, the high sum insured offered by Digit will ensure that treatment costs, room rent, etc., are sufficiently covered.
• Get Emergency Trip Extension - If you need to lengthen your stay due to an emergency during your trip, we will reimburse the cost of hotel extensions and return flight rescheduling. The emergency could be a natural calamity in your travel area or an emergency hospitalisation.
• Receive Personal Liability and Bail Bond - It covers you for any amount that you pay to a third-party or the legal expenses incurred, due to an accident or damage during your trip.
• Compensation for Missed Connection - If you miss a connection because of a delay in your previous connection due to the reasons specified in your policy, we'll cover your extra travel and accommodation expenses.
• Loss of Passport - If you lose your passport or it is stolen, expenses related to its re-issuance would be covered under Digit’s international travel insurance policy.

Land of Smiles, Spirituality and Tranquility, Thailand is famous for its pleasant and polite locals, diverse and stunning temples and of course, the beautiful white sand beaches; Thailand has been a popular tourist destination for both Indian tourists and foreigners alike.

Flight tickets are so cheap, making for a quick holiday for anyone looking to take some time off. Whether you’re going there for a spiritual retreat, wander off the beaches and experience the underwater life or are just going there for your bachelorette or a massive shopping spree, there’s a lot Thailand has to offer for backpackers, solo travellers, families, couples and even a group of friends!

Like the weather in most cities of India, Thailand’s weather varies throughout the year, with Summer, Monsoons, and Winter as its primary seasons.

The best time to visit Thailand would probably be between October to February, since it won’t be too hot and there won't be the heavy rains to ruin your beach and adventure sports experiences either.

Thailand is a fairly safe country. However, owing to its large influx of tourists, you need to be wary of a couple of travel scams and petty crimes.

• Avoid the tuk-tuk drivers in Bangkok, especially if they’re being over-friendly or too pushy.
• Similarly, don’t believe anyone who says they’ll take you to the Lucky Buddha Temple in Bangkok. That is a tourist scam in Thailand, usually by tuk-tuk drivers and scam tour guides- who will probably lure you into buying fake gems later.
• If you’re renting a scooter to ride around on, be very careful (and please wear a helmet).
• If you’re going out drinking, be sure who makes your drinks and be especially careful in tourist-heavy spots. There are many travel scams of foreigners being drugged and robbed at bars and clubs.
• If you’re considering putting together a vlog or travel video using your drone, be careful. There are several restrictions in specific areas on flying drones, and you may need permission from the necessary authorities.
• Avoid red light areas, and even if you’re going there, do not take photos (it’s prohibited in most areas) and stay cautious of pickpockets and misleading Thai massages.
• Don’t litter anywhere. There’s a cost for it, especially on the beach! If you’re found littering, authorities in Thailand could fine you between 2000 THB to 100,000 THB (INR 4000 to 2 lakhs!), or you could even face some time in prison!
• Smoking is banned on many beaches and public areas, so be careful! Additionally, Electronic cigarettes/vaping have been banned in Thailand since 2014.
