Winter, the season of "hygge." The season of coziness, comfort, and warmth. What constitutes "hygge" and how it is experienced is different for everyone.
For Danes, winter is often associated with crackling fires and snow, but why not try something new? A winter where you discover hygge on a sunny beach, with a cool drink after a swim. Or sitting comfortably together, enjoying a new cuisine, while the warm summer rain patters on the roof of a restaurant and disappears again.
Thailand is a fantastic winter travel destination. Its culture, history, cuisine, and geography are as different from Denmark as its beaches and snow. And the best part: since July 1, 2022, there have been no travel restrictions in Thailand, making a visit to the Land of Smiles easy again.
Covid is still present. Travelers should therefore act responsibly. During the pandemic, foreign visitors had to show proof of valid Covid insurance before entering Thailand. While this is no longer required, Danish travelers know that unforeseen events can occur while on vacation. Before Covid and Covid insurance, there was travel and travel insurance. Travel insurance is a safety net that protects against unforeseen events.
Travel insurance for Danish travelers
Travel is a great joy, and Danish visitors are always welcome in Thailand. However, before departure, Danish travelers should consider potential risks:
In Thailand, foreign visitors are not entitled to free medical care. In the event of an accident or injury, you will have to pay for treatment yourself. You will also incur additional costs for lost luggage or flight delays. Depending on the severity of the incident, these costs can amount to thousands of crowns.
These are things you don't want to worry about on a plane. Travel insurance costs only a few crowns and offers protection in case of problems. Those who plan ahead and take out travel insurance can concentrate on what's important and enjoy their trip.

Advantages of AXA Sawasdee Thailand
While it is possible to purchase travel insurance through your home country, using an international company based in the destination country offers many advantages.
Thai approved
Partnering with a reputable and trusted local insurance company can significantly simplify the claims process. AXA's staff are familiar with the country's medical facilities and trained to communicate directly with them. They speak Thai and are well-versed in local law.
Using insurance from your home country can cause problems internationally or include certain exclusions when making a claim in Thailand. AXA Sawasdee is specifically designed for Thailand.
Travel insurance packages offered
Many travelers have different requirements for comfort and insurance coverage. AXA offers various packages to meet the needs of every traveler. Danish travelers can choose between two insurance packages for their trip:
Each package offers different insurance coverage and different compensation amounts.
No waiting time
Many insurers require a 14-day waiting period for certain policy terms. This means you either have to take out your insurance weeks in advance or risk not being insured until the day of your holiday.
Because AXA understands that Danish citizens want to feel safe from the moment they arrive in Thailand, the company has eliminated the 14-day waiting period, so visitors are protected from day one.
Choice of policy term
Many insurance companies offer only limited choices regarding the duration of their policies.
Holidaymakers want to be sure they are covered until their safe return home. That's why visitors from Denmark can choose the duration of their AXA insurance policy themselves.
Whether you stay for 15, 30, 60, 90, or 180 days – you are insured during your stay. If you are considering Thailand as a potential place to live or for a long-term stay, AXA offers the right insurance coverage.
AXA understands that plans can change. So if you'd like to extend your holiday, you don't need to worry about canceling and re-registering. Simply call and extend your existing insurance.

If you are diagnosed with Covid-19 during your stay in Thailand, AXA Sawasdee Thailand will cover the costs of your quarantine. Should you require medical assistance during your quarantine, AXA Sawasdee Thailand will support you in organizing professional medical care and emergency transport.
Many insurance companies now offer Covid-19 coverage as standard. However, some exclude benefits if a traveler is diagnosed with an asymptomatic infection. This is not the case with AXA Sawasdee. You can claim on your insurance regardless of whether you experience symptoms or not.
