Can my elderly father get VA medical coverage in Thailand if he moves here?
Hello Everyone...
I have a question for you. I have been living in Thailand for a while now. I'm from America. My dad is 81 and still living in America. I would like him to come and live here in Thailand with me.
He is covered through his VA in America for all of his medical issues which are many at his age. If he comes to live her is there a VA in Thailand that will pay for his medical issues. Does anyone have experience with this?
TIA

Summary so far
The user inquires about the possibility of their 81-year-old father moving from America to Thailand and whether he can receive medical coverage through the VA while living there. This raises questions about expat healthcare options for American veterans and how VA benefits work internationally.

DTV_BegPecker rent a car. Altyn-Arashan, Ak-Suu Hot Springs, Kok Jaiyk valley.
Stay in Karakol as a base. Altyn-Arashan is the TOP spot for this country, cant miss it.
Eat trout at KARAKOLKA LIVE TROUT. It is pretty good.
Giraffe for coffee and non alcoholic drinks. SIERRA Coffee Karakol another great place. I think there is a hostel on the second floor. For traveling solo is a good place. Karakol will be as popular as Chiang Mai one day. Lots of potencial. Has some digital nomads.
