I needed medical insurance for my non-O 90 day visa. AA Insurance Hua Hin, who are often recommended on this forum were cheaper than quotes I was getting in London.
They were quick and efficient. Mine is medical only but they may have a full holiday policy.

Something to be aware of ...

Travel insurance warning after Thailand motorbike crash
The sister of a man who is facing a large medical bill after a motorbike crash in Thailand has urged others to check their travel insurance policies.

The Boxing Day crash left 28-year-old Adam Davies with serious injuries, including a fractured skull.

Adam, from Dinas Cross, Pembrokeshire, now faces large medical costs which are not covered by his travel insurance.

His provider, Lloyd's Bank encouraged customers to check the terms and conditions of their insurance.

Adam's family have raised £20,000 to pay for treatment, but have warned others to check their policy's fine print.

Adam's sister Jess Davies, 30, said while her brother had worldwide travel insurance, the policy would not pay out for medical expenses as he had been away from the UK for more than 31 days.

Following the crash on the island of Ko Tao, he remains in a hospital in Koh Samui, with his parents at his bedside.

In addition to fractures to his skull, he has bleeding on the brain, a punctured lung, broken ribs, a broken clavicle, a broken scapula and a fractured ankle.
