TLDR : Answer Summary
In a discussion regarding health insurance options for a 74-year-old UK citizen arriving in Thailand on a Visa Exemption for over 90 days, members shared various suggestions and experiences. Recommendations include AXA, Wrlife, and local options like Cigna, particularly for seniors. Users noted that travel insurance can cover medical emergencies and repatriation, and some shared personal experiences with costs and providers. Ultimately, one user decided on Luma Health for £320 for 106 days of coverage.

Cheapest is not always the best, but you will never know until you claim.

With “only” 90 days, get a TRAVELinsurance with the advantage it will include transport back to your country in case of severe illness or death, and often also bringing relatives to Thailand before repatriation.

I am arriving from the UK next month for 89 days, I have taken insurance for the second year with Staysure.

With a medical condition declared just short of £800, I'm in my late seventies.
