Hey! Are there any Canadians in here that have been on a DTV in Thailand for while? Wondering what the best option is for travel insurance/ health care? Is it necessary?

Let me know please! 👇👇
Answer summary

Safety Wing is good, as most visits and checkups are quite cheap without insurance, so you only need major medical in case of accidents.

The list of health insurance companies is long. I went with regency but might switch. They're average.

If you are choosing medical insurance, you are likely seeking to insure against catastrophic incident. About $1M USD coverage will likely suffice. And you can opt for a high deductible to keep annual premiums reasonable.

Any local agent here can get you access to major insurers like Allianz, Axxa, pacific prime.

Pay as you go for routine care. Unlike Canada.
