Thailand's Southeast Insurance guarantees motorists that their cars will be repaired by garages, with the company ensuring compensation to the repair shops.
This assurance addresses prior concerns from garages that feared non-payment due to Southeast Insurance's financial challenges from hefty COVID-19 claims.
New guidelines, established by the Office of Insurance Commission, mandate Southeast Insurance to compensate garages within three days of a claim or three days before repair completion if payment certainty is an issue.
Southeast Insurance maintains contracts with approximately 390 independent garages and 281 car dealerships to provide comprehensive repair and maintenance services.

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
