The insurance industry is preparing to mitigate the impact of natural disaster risks after most parts of Thailand, including Bangkok, were hit by a strong earthquake on Friday, pointing out that free earthquake coverage would no longer be available.

As the risk of earthquakes and other natural disasters has intensified, free earthquake coverage will no longer be offered, and earthquake insurance is expected to be separated from fire insurance, according to the Thai General Insurance Association (TGIA).
