Thaivivat Insurance Public Company Limited
Thaiwiwat Insurance Building, 71 Thanon Asok - Din Daeng, Samsen Nai, Phaya Thai, Bangkok 10400
The travel insurance ceiling hits 5 million baht, which is the reason frequent fliers notice this one first. If you are settling in Bangkok long-term, the six-tier Star health plans cover expatriate needs without the usual local-policy gaps. The GPS tracking and helicopter patient relocation services are operational features most Thai insurers do not run in-house.
The front desk at the Thaivivat Building handles policy inquiries and claims in English, a service the company has maintained for international clients since the 1990s. Thaivivat was founded on October 8, 1952 by Mr. B. L. Hua, who shifted from trading into insurance with the conviction that coverage was essential to long-term well-being. The firm has been headquartered in Bangkok for the full 74 years since.
The company sells motor, fire, marine, travel, and health insurance. Travel coverage runs up to 5 million baht for illness, accident, luggage loss, and flight cancellations. Health insurance is structured in six expatriate tiers, Star 1 Plus through Star 6 Plus.
Thaivivat runs a GPS tracking system called Thaivivat Smart Solution that monitors motor claims and dispatch, a technology path that started in 1984 when the company first introduced radio services to its motor insurance operations. For medical emergencies covered under certain health policies, the firm operates a helicopter patient relocation service, moving insured clients from provincial hospitals to Bangkok facilities when the situation requires intensive care beyond local capacity. Policies for motor and travel can be purchased directly online through the company website, and the mobile app handles claims tracking and document uploads. The Phaya Thai headquarters office operates Monday through Friday from 9AM to 5:30PM and is closed on Saturday and Sunday, so plan any in-person visits for weekdays only.
Free parking is available on-site. The building entrance and car park are both wheelchair-accessible. English is spoken at the counter and the website runs in English and Thai.
