Overview
Event Weather Cancellation in Thailand
Weather can be one of the most unpredictable and disruptive factors when organizing an event. That’s why standard event insurance packages automatically include weather-related cancellation coverage for events held indoors. This ensures that if a natural event (such as a typhoon, severe storm, or other hazardous condition) forces the cancellation or postponement of your indoor event, you're protected from the resulting financial losses.
However, outdoor events face a different level of risk. From concerts and festivals to weddings, sporting events, and open-air exhibitions, outdoor gatherings are far more vulnerable to weather-related disruptions. In these cases, weather coverage is not automatically included and must be added as a separate policy benefit.
This specialized protection is known as the Inclement Weather Cancellation benefit. Available as an optional add-on to any event insurance policies for outdoor functions, it provides crucial financial protection in the event that your gathering is impacted or canceled due to adverse weather conditions.
Coverage
Weather Cancellation Coverage
An Inclement Weather Cancellation benefit reimburses you for financial losses if your event is cancelled or completely postponed due to severe weather conditions.
Covered weather events may include:
- Typhoons, cyclones, or hurricanes
- Flooding
- Blizzards or extreme snowfall
- Hail damage
- Torrential rain
- Other natural disasters
If weather forces the cancellation of your event, this coverage ensures you're reimbursed for non-recoverable expenses, restoration costs for the venue, and the return or replacement of entrusted goods and rented equipment.
Coverage Conditions
Weather Cancellation Conditions for Coverage
To be eligible to add an optional Inclement Weather Cancellation coverage benefit under your Thailand event insurance policy, several key conditions must first be met:
- The event must be held outdoors.
