Anyone here on the DTV visa have any experience with Safety Wing health insurance or recommend something around the same price for medical coverage? Looking at options/prices as planning on staying in Thailand for the next 1-2 years. My wife and I are both 30 from Australia.

I've been using Genki since May 2023 and it's been excellent. Tons of claims, all fulfilled.

That looks great. I like the fact there's an option that excludes pre existing conditions.

$600 aud per month for two seems a little steep?

That's because you chose "Genki Native" which is the resident version. You need to select "Genki Explorer" which is the traveler version (we've been using without issue for almost 2 years).

hmm, that's not what I'm paying. Genki Explorer for myself, wife, and daughter for about $180 USD/month.
