If you’re looking for a fun, exotic holiday destination then Thailand is a great choice. Experience tantalising foods as well as sun, sand and smiles on the beautiful beaches. Don’t miss the Bangkok Silk Markets, Chiang Mai - the ‘Rose of the North’ or the luxurious resorts of Phuket.
One thing to consider for your trip to Thailand is a travel insurance policy. Australians are hospitalised in Thailand for various complaints from motor vehicle accidents to food poisoning each year. If something more serious happens to you, you may need to pay thousands of dollars to be repatriated back to Australia via air ambulance. Before you leave home, consider the choice of travel insurance that is designed to cover you for overseas emergency assistance.
