According to travel insurance comparison site Squaremouth, Thailand stands out not only for its affordability, with insurance premiums 45% lower than the global average of $219, but also for the length of stays, which tend to be longer compared to other destinations.

The cost of a trip to Thailand averages $3,275, significantly lower than the global average of $5,617, offering a more affordable travel experience.
