Thailand: $10,000 Free Travel Insurance Offered to Keep Tourists Coming

Facing new demonstrations over long-simmering political tensions, Thailand continues to offer tourists free insurance coverage up to $10,000 for anyone harmed in protests or delayed because of political unrest. Compensation for delays is $100 per day and for injuries, $1,000 per day of hospitalization and free medical care. The insurance coverage will remain in place until the end of the year, and all visa fees have been waived until March 2011. These measures were enacted in late 2008 after protesters seized Bangkok’s two airports and hobbled Thailand’s tourism industry.
