If I test positive, can I choose which hospital I go to (axa insurance has a pretty long list, i'll be in bangkok) or do I have to go to where I'm told (mightn't be on the list)?
Answer summary
If you test positive for COVID-19 while in Bangkok, your choice of hospital may be limited by the partnership agreements between your hotel and specific hospitals. Generally, you will be referred to the hospital that your hotel has a partnership with. However, if you are insured with AXA, you may have the option to insist on a different hospital from the list covered by your insurance. It's advisable to communicate clearly with your hotel and possibly contact AXA directly to verify your options.

By default you will go to the partner hospital... But you can go else where, just ask nicely and firmly to the hotel what hospital you want to go to and they will arrange it.

You mean test positive from the Test and Go test? If so, then you go to the hospital that hotel is partnered with.

If you test yourself I am not sure. Normally clinics have a hospital they use. You can call and ask them maybe

Well unfortunately you don't have a choice. The hotels have a partner Cotract with a specific hospital. Also it's advisable to read the fine print on your policy.

Easy fix to that - can't afford it, won't be able to pay for it.
