ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A UK user is seeking recommendations for travel and health insurance for their upcoming 90-day trip to Thailand, particularly due to their age (71) and existing medical conditions (high blood pressure and cholesterol). Several users respond with suggestions including Virgin Travel Insurance, LV, and specific bank policies that accommodate pre-existing conditions. Others share their experiences, highlighting the challenges faced by older travelers or those with medical issues in obtaining insurance. Some suggest self-insurance as a viable alternative if treatment in Thailand is deemed reasonably affordable.
