Interesting topic, thanks. Question please. Regarding insurance, if I don’t have a bike license in Australia but I hold a valid thai bike license, will the Australian insurance you shown cover me in Thailand? Or do I need Thai bike insurance.
@Get-A-Life 2 ай бұрын
If you are an Australian citizen and you purchased the insurance policy before you travelled to Thailand then you should be fine as you are legal to ride in Thailand. I'm not an insurance expert, it would be best to check your insurance PDS for more info! Some companies won't cover you if the bike that you hire in Thailand is bigger cc than a bike that you own in Australia. Good luck and ride safe mate. Cheers Simon
