ORIGINAL POSTERHello. Can someone explain to me cost of health insurance in Thailand and also taxes? Did something change recently because on the net there are so many contradictory informations? Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
The cost of health insurance in Thailand varies greatly depending on factors such as coverage needs, age, and pre-existing health conditions. For instance, some users report paying between 7000 to 9000 baht monthly for comprehensive coverage. Taxes in Thailand can differ based on personal financial situations, with comments highlighting the complexity of determining tax obligations, especially regarding pension income. Recent discussions emphasize the importance of individual circumstances and recommend research for accurate quotes and tax information.

Tax is different for everyone. I bring in around one million baht per year, but it's all pension money so zero tax.

@Keith ******
no, pension income is taxed in Thailand. You bring in DTA exempted pension income.Reply to

Both subjects are based on individual circumstances.

Easy to answer. The cost of Thai health insurance varies depending on your personal medical history. What tax, if any, you pay depends entirely on your personal financial circumstances.

No one can answer this for you because it relies on too many personal factors. What is the contracting information you are getting?

My health insurance costs me 7000 Baht a month for 5 million cover, and in January I paid 3900Baht Tax on 500k income. This is just a example for you.

Health insurance cost is predicated on coverage required, age, existing health conditions. You have to do your OWN research for your personal particulars. Taxes you need to be more specific.

Costs what it costs and you get taxed on what needs taxing. Sorry confusing answer questions not very clear.
VAT is still 7 % 😁
