That whole 'skip travel insurance to save money' advice backfired hard on our trip to Thailand.
I spent 14 hours stuck in a Bangkok hospital waiting for a doctor after a motorbike fender bender because I listened to folks saying insurance was a waste, and now I wouldn't skip it again for a 3-day weekend, let alone a month-long trip - has anyone else had a similar hospital nightmare change their mind?

Read an article that said something like 1 in 5 travelers end up needing medical help abroad... definitely not worth rolling the dice.

Is it just me or does that stat sound like it was pulled from a travel insurance ad? I mean I'm probably the guy who'd trip over his own suitcase and end up needing stitches, so maybe it's not too far off. Still feels like one of those numbers they cook up to scare you into buying the premium plan though.
