Travel Insurance for Thailand
Thailand is a fantastic year-round travel destination that's just a short 4-hour flight away. From Bangkok's lively streets to Chiang Mai's temples and Phuket's islands, the country's welcoming culture and direct flights from India have made it a popular destination. With so much to explore, having Thailand travel insurance for your adventures adds a layer of ease and assurance to your plans.
It ensures you’re covered for any trip emergencies that come your way. These can be common situations, such as losing your passport while visiting busy places like the Chatuchak Weekend Market or the Pratunam Market in Bangkok. If that happens, we’ll guide you through the next steps to get a new passport.
Another frequent issue is delayed checked-in baggage. Let's say you arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport, but your luggage is delayed. In this case, you can file a claim and receive a payout to buy essentials like clothes and toiletries, so your trip stays comfortable, even if things don’t go as planned.
And that’s just the start. With IndusInd travel insurance (formerly Reliance travel insurance), you’re covered from the moment you board your flight to the time you return home. Claims are easy to file on the go via the Self-i app, so whether it’s a lost passport or a baggage delay, help is always just a tap away.
Exploring Thailand should be all about unforgettable moments, not unexpected expenses. IndusInd Thailand Travel Insurance (formerly Reliance Thailand Travel Insurance) provides affordable and dependable coverage designed to protect your journey every step of the way.

Benefits of Buying Thailand Travel Insurance
Cashless Medical Coverage
Bangkok’s known to have some of the best street food! But if the food doesn't agree with you and you need to visit the hospital, your medical bills are covered. We offer cashless medical coverage of up to USD 500,000* (and USD 500* for emergency dental treatments). Meaning all you need to do is submit your policy at the front desk, and we take care of the rest! This coverage applies to all certified hospitals in Thailand.
24/7 Emergency Cash Support
A lost wallet after a fun night out in Thailand’s Chinatown or one of its famous night markets can quickly derail your travel plans. But worry not! We offer emergency cash up to USD 300 . This support is available 24/7, so you can call us anytime you need help. This benefit ensures you have enough on-hand cash for food, transport and accommodation so you can continue your exploration of Thailand.
Flight Delays & Connecting Flights
Airports like Suvarnabhumi and Phuket International can get busy during festivals like Songkran. So, if your flight gets delayed, we’ve got you covered. We cover flight delays over 12 hours up to USD 60 per day*. This coverage can also come in handy if your next connecting flight from Thailand gets pushed unexpectedly.
Lost Baggage Support
Let’s say you arrive at Bangkok, but your luggage doesn’t, and the airport staff informs you that your luggage is delayed. In this situation, you will get up to USD 100* for checked-in baggage delays that exceed 12 hours. If your luggage is lost, you get up to USD 1500*. This can help you buy essentials like clothes and toiletries.
Personal Liability
Traffic in cities like Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Hat Yai is known to be quite severe, especially during peak hours. So if you’re renting a car and accidentally scratch a parked scooter or hit a street vendor’s cart, our personal liability cover has you covered. We cover up to USD 200,000*, so you don’t pay out of pocket.
Loss of Passport
Moving between Thailand’s famous islands or cities? – Switching between taxis, ferries, trains, and tuk-tuks often increases the risk of losing your passport along the way. That’s why we cover up to USD 300* to help you get a replacement passport. This includes reissue-related costs in Thailand.
Individual Travel Plan
IndusInd Thailand Travel Insurance provides all-around protection for your trip against a range of disruptions. Our individual travel plan offers comprehensive protection for one traveller, so it's a great addition to any solo trip to Thailand. Here are the key features and coverage limits of this plan that make it a standout choice.
Family Travel Plan
Why buy 4 separate plans when you can buy one plan to cover your family of 4! Our family travel insurance plan offers coverage up to $250,000*, and this coverage is shared among all family members. This makes policy handling and claims processing a lot easier since you'll just be using one plan to cover your entire family during your trip.
