gov advice has pissed me off. I've got 3 weeks to kill after blondebash and was planning on going to thailand, doubt I will now I can't get insured

You'll be there about same time as me then - 3 weeks is a long time and very expensive in the UK!

yeah, I wanted to go back to india but it's exactly the wrong time of year. might now look into vietnam or cambodia, can get insured to go to either of these even though they're both more dangerous than thailand

Think I'm gunna do this as well if Thailand doesn't sort itself out in the next couple of weeks.

I'm off to Bangkok in a few weeks. I was there last year in a state of emergency and saw no problems. My understanding of the last few months of troubles is that they are localised in a small area of Silom and there is little threat to tourists other than to use caution and be vigilant. I would be much more worried about my safety in parts of Birmingham and London.

I'm a bit miffed that the foreign office have declared it to be unsafe. Does this mean all my insurance will be invalid? If something not related to the troubles happens to me eg I get a foreign object accidentally stuck in an orifice will I be able to claim back hospital fees on my insurance still?

Bit more info for those interested.

Anyone considering travelling over, here is an email sent to AA insurance and their reply. In short if you have a problem and it is directly related to the riots your not covered, if it isn't you are. So I don't think you will have a problem if your going to the beach resorts as there are no problems there.


I have a trip planned from the 12th June 2010 for 25 days to Thailand.

I have a question on the policy wording under general exclusions section 5

5. Travelling or intending to travel to a country or specific area that the Foreign &
Commonwealth Office has advised against ‘all travel’ where this information
was public knowledge prior to booking and/or departing on your trip.

The FCO are currently advising "we currently advise against all but essential travel to the whole of Thailand" This reads to me as this policy will cover my trip as the FCO advice is not all travel although I understand other exclusions will apply due to civil unrest etc.

Can you please confirm if this policy will cover a trip to Thailand providing the level of FCO advice does not change. I do not want to purchase a policy & find out I'm not covered if I require any medical treatment.

Looking forward to your reply


Reply from the AA

Thanks for your email
You are covered as per the normal terms and conditions of the policy which means if you are travelling to Thailand and the affected areas with the riot disruption any claims that are not relating to the riot disruption will be considered as per normal.
We can still offer cover for travelling to Thailand as long as you are aware that any claims arising due to the unrest will not be covered
Hope this helps

Many Thanks

The trouble is still isolated to a small area in Bangkok, I'd still go but avoid Bangkok. Once again I've been checking out the thailand travel forums and in other parts of the country you would not know anything is happening..........
