What is worth including in the cost of insurance in Thailand, and what you can save on, is always determined individually. For example, the increased health risks, the likelihood of injury, is always higher for elderly passengers and children and teenagers. 

Before entering, you should think about what services you will use, where to rest, etc. From this you can understand what risks are more likely.

Going on a vacation abroad, you should insure against risks associated with loss, theft, damage or destruction of both your own property (luggage) and the items or equipment belonging to third parties. In the first case the risks are associated with theft or unprofessionalism of airport staff. Unfortunately, such situations are not uncommon. Your bags and suitcases can be either not found or found after a few days.
