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)?
TLDR : 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.
