Hi - looking for some advice on the COVID/general health insurance.

I need cover for a full 12 months as per the working contract i'll be undertaking. I am coming from the UK, which AXA advised me is a high-risk area during the quotation i got with them.

I have read so much on this group about insurance and finding it hard to whittle down advice.

i am specifically looking for advice from people on working visas and their experience.

obviously I will be doing the ASQ upon arrival so want to be covered incase of positive test and asymptomatic - I know AXA does this and have had a quote from them just wondering if there is any others that fall in this bracket?

Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK expat is seeking advice on health insurance coverage for a 12-month working contract in Thailand, particularly focusing on COVID-related insurance that covers ASQ upon arrival. They have received a quote from AXA but are looking for other recommendations based on fellow expats' experiences with working visas and insurance options.

You can check out his company website below.

He is an agent (also from UK) and has run the insurance business in Thailand for years. He has helped my foreign boss comparing

plans by different providers and choosing the best one with great coverage and reasonable price for long-term stay.

I found insurance here in America cheaper than most places in Thailand. 3 months coverage for just over $100
