Pacific Prime/Luma. You can get different plans and up to 74 years old

You should be ok at 70 to open a policy. There's a proliferation of insurance companies so shopping around is a good idea, it won't be that cheap. I chose my insurance company because of the agent, having a good agent who is responsive and speaks your language is perhaps the most important thing

Are you living in Thailand? Or asking for Thailand Pass?

They have insurances with no age limit. I got my insurance here. Expensive to have good insurance at your age, but good agent. Will help you to discuss options.

If living in Thailand ask a good insurance broker. E.g. AA Insure in Huahin. You may be strategic to start before your birthday.
