Ask Thailand · Answer

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.

For 5 week stay, I used money supermarket. Clicked "preexisting conditions" filled in the on line info and it gave me several to chose from. I'm not sure for longer stays but a Thai policy might be better.

Ray ******** · Answer

I live here permanently and can't get ANY insurance at any price. I'm 76 but quite fit, apart from having numerous pre existing conditions.

Once you pass 70 the chances of getting insurance is about the same as you winning the lottery. The good news is that treatment in local Thai Hospitals is Very reasonable, it's only big private hospitals that are unbelievably expensive.

If you have enough money just self insure and pay as you go. Anything really serious, head home where it's free. It works for me.

All you need is a credit/debit card with a bit of credit left on it and you're good to go.,,😀🙏🙏😀
