if you have to go to a hospital in Bangkok..

Get their preferred hospital network list of hospitals in Bangkok. You can request transfer to one of them if needed and AXA pays direct to their network hospitals.

AXA Sawadee Thailand is a responsible insurer. If you have an agent you purchased the policy from in Thailand...have their phone and email contact info with you if needed
