Understanding Thai Vehicle Insurance

Thailand operates a two-tier vehicle insurance system. The basic Compulsory Third-Party Liability Insurance (Por Ror Bor) is legally required for all vehicles. However, this basic coverage rarely provides adequate protection, which is why additional voluntary insurance is strongly recommended.

Required Documentation

To obtain insurance, you'll need:

• Vehicle registration documents

• Passport and visa information

• Previous insurance details (if any)

• Vehicle inspection results (when required)
