Really depends on where you are from. I would always advise to choose one from your home country. This way, in case of dispute, you know your legal rights and have a better chance of enforcing them.

If you have EU/EEC Citizenship, CFE, the French Social for expatriates (

) has been open to EEC citizens since 3 years as per court decision, has no exclusions (like a social insurance would) and covers about 70% of bangkok hospital. I pay 300 USD per month for a family of 4, parents shy of 40. And can be upgraded to meet Thai immigration requirements, if required. You can also add disability insurance and even pension contributions, the latter being re-usable in Europe afterwards.

If you don't have EEC Citizenship, I can recommend

Both are under Luxembourg insurance laws which are extremely pro-client friendly. For example, you can only lose coverage after several months of non-payment and two written warnings, they can't kick you to the curb easily in case of new conditions etc. Both are products of the biggest insurance companies in LU that are part state-owned so sure as duck. May not be the cheapest options, but extremely unlikely to stab you in the back come push to shove.

If you are a nomad who needs less than two years coverage whilst traveling permanently,

are excellent. They covered three hospitalizations (two of them major) in Mauritius for my family no questions asked. They didn't even bitch about my wife's pregnancy (which was out of cover) as the hospitalization complications required lots of careful monitoring and tests re:pregnancy too, all of which they covered.
