Some plans provide both types of insurance, but some do not.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What is short-term travel and medical insurance?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Short-term travel and medical insurance provide coverage for your trip belongings and flights as well as for your health. Emergency treatments and costs can be covered under <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medical insurance. When it\u2019s a short-term plan, it can last anywhere from less than a month up to a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is it mandatory to have travel insurance in Thailand?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travel insurance is strongly recommended for anyone visiting Thailand. Although it\u2019s not required for most travelers, a policy can help cover unexpected medical costs, trip delays, or lost luggage. Health insurance is also generally not mandatory for visitors entering the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can foreigners go to public hospitals in Thailand?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foreigners can receive treatment at public hospitals in Thailand, especially during emergencies, but must pay for services as they aren\u2019t covered by the public scheme. Costs are lower than private care, though longer waits and language barriers may occur despite generally good standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\"><div class='code-block code-block-73' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<link rel='stylesheet' href='https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner\/compare-box\/css\/compare-73-new.css?v1.67' type='text\/css' media='all'\/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/compare-quotes\/step-one-name\/?campSource=PP-Blog&utm_campaign=Blog\" class=\"inserter-73-link CompareNowbutton\">\n  <div class=\"inserter-73-new\">\n    <div class=\"inserter-left-box\">\n        <h3>Kickstart Your Search for the Perfect Insurer<\/h3>        \n        <div class=\"inserter-compare-box\">\n            <p>Compare over <br>50,000 Plans <br>from Top Insurers<\/p>\n            <button >Compare NOW<\/button>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    \n    <div class=\"inserter-img-box\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner\/compare-box\/img\/mobile.png\" alt=\" \" class=\"banner-img-mobile\">            \n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/a>\n\n<style>\n\n.inserter-73-new .inserter-img-box amp-img {right: -31%;}\n@media (max-width: 1199px) {\n  .inserter-73-new .inserter-img-box amp-img {\n    right: -20px;\n  }\n@media (max-width: 991px) {\n  .inserter-73-new .inserter-img-box amp-img {\n    right: -10px;\n  }\n}\n@media (max-width: 768px) {\n  .inserter-73-new .inserter-img-box amp-img {\n    height: auto;\n    width: 30%;\n  }\n}\n@media (max-width: 512px) {\n  .inserter-73-new .inserter-img-box amp-img {\n    height: 200px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travelers from Thailand should pick a travel insurance plan that meets their needs, whether long-term or short-term, bare minimum or comprehensive.

Lee","description":"Martin is a writer and translator with over 10 years of experience. He writes articles and blog posts, creates infographics and videos, translates between Chinese and English, and more. Skilled at explaining complicated concepts in layman\u2019s terms, Martin believes the gold standard of translation is attained when the translated text is not only accurate, but also reads like an original text. Martin holds a degree in Economics from the University of London, UK. Since joining Pacific Prime, Martin has become even more aware of the gap between the true value of insurance products and most people\u2019s appreciation of it, and developed a passion for demystifying and simplifying matters, so that more people get the protection they need at a cost they can easily afford. In his free time, Martin attends concerts of various genres, and plays the violin with piano accompaniment he pre-recorded himself or played live by his niece.","url":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/author\/martin-lee"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/63"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11186"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11186\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30895,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11186\/revisions\/30895"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
