Hi all, I want to ask those who are living in Thailand full time, what type of health insurance have you gone for and who with? Struggling to find a good one for myself as a foreigner that’s not a scam or where someone else is getting paid to advertise it. Many thanks in advance!

Depending on what u need/age etc take a look at Genki. Wont work for everyone but does for me! €60 odd a month and can cancel at anytime and covers pretty much the same as the big boys. I have a referral code should you need

Hi Chris dm me I’m an independent and as a few have said it’s about finding the right one for you. There are so many here and not all are the same that’s for sure

Pacific Cross. I chose a plan with a significant deductible. That keeps the price down. Medical care here in Thailand is both excellent and affordable. I am basically self insuring for routine medical care. The policy is there for a serious medical event such as a serious vehicle accident.

Because of my high(ish) deductible I haven’t tried to make a claim so I can’t say how well they pay claims. They have great customer service otherwise such as coordinating policies with your visa. I bought the policy when I was 62. In 7 years I’ve never had a medical bill over 20,000 baht. My deductible is 40,000 baht.

is this a Thai company?

I know they operate in Thailand and the Philippines. I think only in Asia but I am not sure.

Pacific Cross qualified as a Thai insurance company for the OA visa health insurance requirement as well as for my current LTR visa.

do you know if they insure 70+?

@Tony *********
Maybe up to 75 but expect the rates to be higher and for preexisting conditions to be excluded

AIA

I use AIA. Almost more important though is the agent you use. A good agent will find the coverage that suits you and more importantly will sort out any issues
