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.
