Is a quote of 1000 GBP per year for health insurance in Thailand reasonable?

Sounds pretty cheap

I pay around $60usd a month through Safetywing. Always been good and quick with payouts when needed.

Try this company

APRIL International

I’m 52 and there best policy is £60, cheapest for me but still good benefits was £40

What age are you?

What age are you?

Check ACS Globe, Coris and Luma

Depends on your age. Why would a world wide health insurance not be in the EUR / GPD 1000 range? That is 80 per month ...

My health insurance in Germany is: EUR 1100 per month, that is why I mostly live in Thailand.

You most certainly find some cheaper ones, which most certainly have lower coverage.

Sounds about right. I pay around 800 a year and I’m 26.

That sounds incredibly cheap im 30 and pay double that lol

I've never bought it but depending on the coverage you want i think theres a really basic thai one that covers accidents which is maybe 20 a month or something. Just heard about it though so cant really expand sorry

That is such a good price!

That sounds good, who's it with please

But insurance isn’t one of the requirements for dtv. Or at least when i did mine it wasn’t.

I pay about 21k thb a year, 20 years old

Everyone that comes to Thailand from a country with government health thinks insurance here is expensive.That is just perception. In Australia I was still working so paying 3.5% of my gross income to medicare. My free healthcare actually cost me $12,250 year. My comprehensive insurance here costs me $3,300. You can also compare to the US where your employer sponsors your insurance, that's not free it's part of your wages. It is estimated US employers pay an average of 6K to 10K USD per year per employee for health insurance. So when you look at the product you are receiving here and you think 1000 GBP is expensive , it is not it is in fact far cheaper than the western world, it just seems that way because you are used to perceiving it as free.

I was quoted £200 a month for a family of 3 including maternity cover so that sounds about right

If you are young the Safety Wing renewable monthly is probably all you need.

That sounds cheap.

I feel like thats a good price, in comparison to my research coming as a family of three from nz

I use safety wing and it’s about $50 per month. Maybe not as comprehensive as full health insurance but does the job if you’re healthy

The cost of insurance in Thailand has many variables. Age, level of cover, inpatient only or inpatient and outpatient, preexisting conditions and so on. Impossible to say if that's expensive or not.

Sounds about right. William Russell?

Yes sounds about right.

That’s like £84 a month. Sounds about right

Hospital costs in Thailand get expensive quickly.

Yeah that ballpark yearly for sure. You can get cheaper if you just want absolute emergencies covered

Yes proper health care is very expensive here even for small things , break a leg and end up in Bangkok hospital it would cost a few grand I suspect

I was over 500 just to get my bloods done after a recent allergic reaction
