Chiang Mai Travel Insurance

Chiang Mai is a very safe city for tourists, even though incidences of touting and scamming are on the rise; naïve tourists are more likely to be overcharged rather than be the victim of a petty crime. Nonetheless, visitors should always keep their wits about them at all times and try as much as possible not to stand out and draw the wrong kind of attention, setting yourself up as a potential target.

Remember that accidents while on holiday are just as likely here as they are anywhere else. Medical facilities in Chiang Mai are top-notch, but hospitals will only treat you if you have health insurance, cash or a credit card. It is therefore advisable to buy separate insurance to cover for any possible medical emergency. Travel insurance can also cover the costs of lost or stolen items, and cancelled or cut holiday trips.
