Your Questions, Answered
Do I need travel insurance?
It is highly recommended for our clients to buy travel insurance when travelling to Thailand or any other foreign country. Travel insurance can provide financial protection and peace of mind in case of unexpected events such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, lost or stolen luggage, and other incidents that can disrupt a trip.
​
Travelling to a foreign country can bring various risks, and while Thailand is generally considered a safe destination, accidents and illnesses can still occur. Travel insurance can help cover the cost of medical treatment, evacuation, and other expenses that can arise in case of an emergency. It is always better to be prepared for the unexpected, and purchasing travel insurance can help ensure that travellers have a safe and enjoyable stay.
​
It is important to carefully review the coverage and limitations of the travel insurance policy, and to select a policy that best meets the specific needs and circumstances of the trip.
Are places in Thailand wheelchair accessible?
The accessibility of places in Thailand for individuals using wheelchairs can vary. In general, accessibility is limited in older buildings and infrastructure, but newer buildings and tourist areas are typically more accessible. However, even in these areas, access can be challenging due to factors such as uneven sidewalks, steep slopes, and narrow doorways.
​
That being said, Thailand has made significant efforts to improve accessibility in recent years, and many tourist attractions and public transportation options, including buses and trains, are now equipped with ramps or elevators. In addition, there are also organizations and companies in Thailand that offer accessible tour services and support for individuals with disabilities.
​
It is important for individuals using wheelchairs to research and plan their trip carefully, and to check with hotels, airlines, and tour companies about their accessibility policies and accommodations. With careful planning and preparation, it is possible for individuals using wheelchairs to have a successful and enjoyable trip to Thailand.
