International Student Health Insurance for Students in Thailand
Thailand, located in the center of Southeast Asia, is one of the most popular destinations in Asia. International students who study there will have the opportunity to experience Buddhist temples, exotic wildlife, and spectacular islands. Thailand has beautiful landscapes and delicious, inexpensive food. But these are not all Thailand has to offer international students. So why should you consider studying in Thailand?
Thailand, known as the "land of smiles", is renowned for the friendly nature of its people. International students who study in Thailand will be made to feel right at home by the hospitable locals, and will forge genuine, life-long friendships during their time there. Although the Thai language can be difficult to master, the majority of the people in Thailand speak English, and encourage visitors who try to speak Thai.
Thailand is an eclectic blend of the ancient and the modern, creating an interesting and varied culture. International students who study in Thailand will find something to suit their interests, no matter what they might be. From shopping malls to beaches, Thailand has something for everyone.
Thailand has a reputation for safety and a very low cost of living, and is a great place for international students to study.
The education system in Thailand is extremely high quality, particularly for students studying ecology and the environment, agriculture, human communities, and development. Thailand is also the only place for students who wish to learn Thai to be completely immersed in the language. Education in all subjects is highly valued in Thailand.
Although larger cities in Thailand have excellent international hospitals, you might find that hospitals and clinics outside of urban areas are not quite up to Western standards. Additionally, public hospitals are likely to be crowded, with longer wait times and lower quality facilities than private hospitals in Thailand.
As an international student, you are also not eligible for the government funded health care provided to Thailand citizens. For these reasons, you will want to purchase private health insurance before you leave for Thailand. A number of both Thai and international insurance companies offer a wide range of health insurance packages.
