Never Never buy insurance from a Bank
Go directly to insurance company not a broker
I worked in the insurance industry for many years
You will only line the sales persons pockets with commission

I did take accident insurance when I got a Kasikorn account. A couple of months later I had an accident and Kasikorn paid in full. I bought more insurance the next year. They eventually wouldn’t sell to me when I turned 65.

I believe banks offer accident insurance, not health insurance. Coverage limits are usually pretty low.

The first policy I got from Kasikorn was 5,000฿. The next year I bought 50,000฿

Some Thai banks did that but you need to check the details policy carefully.
