RESPONSE TO CURRENT STATE OF EMERGENCY IN BANGKOK

For Immediate Release

19 September 2006

Go Travel Insurance, a leading online travel insurance provider would like to inform those planning to travel to Thailand of the insurance implications in light of the state of emergency declared by Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

Christian Young, Chief Executive of Go Travel insurance said: “Obviously we are concerned with the developments in the Thai capital this evening. We would urge all travellers due to arrive in Bangkok to monitor the situation there closely as there are potential implications on any existing cover they may have. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office have already been advising against travelling in certain parts of Thailand, however following the coup on 19th September this may now extend to other parts of Thailand particularly Bangkok. It is key is for those planning a trip to keep up to date with their insurer, the FCO and even their tour operator; travellers who ignore any advice not to travel will do so at their own risk and will not be covered by their insurance,

Go Travel Insurance would like to make it clear that we will discuss and update all our customers personally on any concerns they may have about travelling. A comprehensive information service available on our website (www.gotravelinsurance.co.uk).
