Insurance Regulator Confirms Hulun Solo Had 5 Million Baht Coverage
Thailand's Insurance Commission confirmed that Hulun Solo held a 5 million baht travel insurance policy covering accidental death and homicide, with payout eligibility depending on the official cause-of-death investigation in Georgia.
On August 1, 2025, Thailand's Insurance Commission (OIC) released an update on insurance coverage for Bawornthad Pengsook, known as Hulun Solo, following news of his death in Georgia. The commission extended its condolences to the deceased's family and initiated an urgent review of his insurance information while coordinating with the relevant insurance company to ensure beneficiaries receive proper coverage under the policy's full terms and conditions.
OIC Secretary-General Chuchart Pramulpol revealed that after the family's consent, the commission examined Hulun Solo's insurance records with Sompo Insurance Thailand (Public) Company Limited. The investigation found that he held one travel insurance policy with death coverage in cases of accident or murder, with a benefit amount of 5 million baht. This coverage applies specifically to accidental death or homicide and does not extend to death from illness.
Coverage eligibility and compensation payment therefore depend on the official cause of death investigation, combined with the policy's terms, conditions, and corroborating documentation from relevant authorities. The OIC is closely coordinating with Sompo Insurance, which is awaiting the formal death investigation results and complete claim documentation from the beneficiary.
If the investigation confirms the death falls under the policy's coverage terms and the beneficiary submits all required documents, the insurance company will promptly process the claim according to the policy. Additionally, Sompo Insurance has indicated its readiness to assist with and cover expenses related to repatriating the deceased's remains to Thailand, even before the cause of death investigation concludes, to help ease the family's immediate burden.
The OIC will closely monitor the insurance company's handling of the case to ensure beneficiaries receive fair, complete, and swift consideration of their claim.
