PA banned. BS becomes tiring to all except BS seekers imho...

Yep, couldn't believe my good luck. There was hardly any visitors at Sanctuary of Truth. Most of my pics have no-one in them. Guess everyone was caught up in the Songkran stuff. Oh just thought of it, the traffic was just bedlam on the day I went, not a day for tour buses. It was also a Songkran special day on that side of Pattaya which caused the crush. But I was in a lovely a/c taxi, dry as a bone, just watching it all...

Agree with all the preceding ops' positive posts. Apart from every airport trip, I also booked for Sanctuary of Truth. Not cheap at ฿600, but that included the driver waiting for my return and it was on a late Songkran day when the traffic was unbelievable. So well worth it. Was good at the Sanctuary also - an escape from the water - and no Chinese tour buses either

By coincidence, I dreamt of this last night and the penny dropped - although both our policies are through Allianz - they could be and are quite different. Before reading your post, I had already googled ANZ and Allianz travel insurance and looked at the PDF (that applies in Australia). Could not copy and paste from PDF so will type it: Premium Cards Insurance Booklet (effective 11 April 2018) ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA 2 (d) eighty (80) years of age or under on the day you activated cover... So it seems ANZ card holders get an extra 5 years on this side of the ditch

Thanks muchly once again but the "Schedule of Compensation" does not appear in my zillion pages. Will have to further investigate tomorrow as late dinner is happening and I'm half cut also

Hi and thanks for the very informative and reassuring post. Also apologies to Surry for getting a bit off his thread... Assume "Alliance" might be "Allianz Australia Insurance Limited"? (perhaps over enthusiastic spell checker?) If it is Allianz, then where in the T&C's does it mention age? Cheers, Peter - a Barhopper from across the ditch

I also rely on the travel insurance which my Citibank Rewards credit card provides through Allianz. The T&C's are listed on a 55 page PDF I have printed (and take with me). Yet I cannot find any mention of free cover ceasing at a nominated age... Anyway, am currently 66, but your mention of 75 got me looking. Glad to hear that you had success with a claim on such a policy. Sad now you now have to pay but I guess the rate is reasonable considering there seems to be also pre-existing conditions. May I ask which insurance company provides your cover?
