Travellers with
online travel insurance could benefit from new initiatives aimed at stimulating the tourist trade in Thailand.
AirAsia and Thai Airways will be selling free and greatly reduced tickets in October this year for inbound passengers from America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, the Associated Press reports.

cheap travel insurance.
Taking out travel insurance before heading abroad should be considered essential, the body also claimed.
