Government asks Tourism ministry to come up with some cheap travel insurance options to pull in more tourists

The government is asking the tourism ministry and related agencies to come up with cheap travel insurance packages to increase tourism.

Daily News reported that government deputy Thanasak Patimaprakorn wants tourists visiting Thailand to have some local options for

accident insurance.

The government stated that they will not be paying any of the premiums themselves. Only in exceptional emergency circumstances can the government take on some of the costs.

That might be in political unrest or in cases where tourists get caught up in bombs where funds can be made available for tourists whose policies would not cover such eventualities.
