Hi Guys!  I'm not sure whether my question is appropriate here.  Has anyone experience with the new immigration rules regarding "health insurance" in Thailand.  My question is: 1- Are the Western insurance companies operating in Thailand (even as a branch)?  2- If so, it is better to sign the contract within Thailand or is it better to do so in my home country.  3- Which companies offer the best price for their services?  4- How are the rates for instance for ambulance , hospital or even dentists treatments?

Answer summary

The post discusses the experiences and recommendations related to the new immigration rules in Thailand that require health insurance for expats, specifically focusing on the O-A visa. It raises questions about the presence of Western insurance companies in Thailand, the benefits of signing contracts in Thailand versus the home country, recommendations for the best companies, and the rates for various medical services.

International Coverage required.
