Do I need travel insurance when visiting Phuket?

While it's not mandatory to have travel insurance for entering Thailand, it's highly recommended. Medical costs can be high, and having insurance can provide peace of mind during your stay.

• Look for policies that cover health emergencies, trip cancellations, and personal liability. Some travel agencies even require insurance for certain activities, like diving or extreme sports.

Carry suitable insurance, save emergency and accommodation contacts, and know which activities are excluded by the policy. For urgent medical situations, use professional emergency services rather than relying only on online advice.
