TLDR : Answer Summary
An expat moving to Thailand is seeking recommendations for health insurance providers, with options including IMG, April International, Allianz Ayudhya, HCI, Cigna, and Optimum. Specific comments address experiences with these companies, concerns for seniors over 70, and suggestions for comparison tools. Allianz is noted for focusing primarily on Thailand, which may fit the needs of the asker. Additionally, several users provided insights about premium costs and coverage limitations, especially for older individuals.

If you are over 70 forget it. Exorbitant prices if they will cover you at all.
