The Land of Smiles attracts scores of sun-seeking British tourists every year. Drawn to the tropical conditions, white sandy beaches, fabulous food, the Full Moon parties, and chaotic appeal of the cities like Bangkok, it’s not hard to see why Thailand rates so highly with British travellers.
World Nomads has two plans - Standard and Explorer - each of them providing cover for a multitude of activities including hiking, kitesurfing, kayaking, surfing and diving.
We also offer cover for key events such as:
Traveller tip 1: UK travellers aged 18 or over can enter via Thailand Pass, and must have a Covid vaccination certificate, have been fully vaccinated for at least 14 days before travel. The requirement to take a PCR test before you leave the UK has now been dropped, and instead you are encouraged to take antigen self-tests during your stay. For more information on travelling to Thailand from the UK go to the UK government's FCDO website.
We know the Brits love their cocktails by the beach, island-hopping explorations, and wildlife encounters, but as much fun as a trip to Thailand always is, it is just as important to consider what could go wrong and be prepared for that as best as any traveller can. The following is a list of travel insurance considerations:
Traveller tip 2: It is important that British tourists visiting Thailand understand that a World Nomads policy is not a private medical insurance (PMI) policy and will not cover all your medical expenses, particularly not for those considered unnecessary by our medical specialists.
Most travellers let their hair down when they head abroad, sometimes so much so that they often forget that they’re in a foreign country and need to always keep their heads in the game.

World Nomads policies cannot cover claims due to Pre-Existing Medical Conditions (PEMC), regardless of whether the condition is serious or not (this includes if you're on separate or joint policies). You can still purchase a World Nomads policy, but the PEMC exclusion is not removable.
For travel insurance providers that offer cover on PEMC, visit the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) Money Helper website, or call 0800 138 7777. BIBA's (The British Insurance Brokers' Association) Find Insurance Service offers information on serious PEMCs and travel insurance providers that may cover these conditions. You can also contact them on 0370 950 1790.
