Okay, now it's time for Health Insurance! Who do y'all recommend? I am not wanting to fight for reimbursements. I am looking for full health care coverage that passes the visa application. I also don't want to have a motorcycle accident and have to pay out of pocket..

Looking for what works for you!?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion focuses on recommendations for health insurance in Thailand that ensure full coverage to meet visa requirements. Users mention various providers, including AXA for OA visas and WRLife, noting positive experiences particularly with claims handling. Others suggest using Mr Prakan for comparing policies and have advised against using Now Compare due to past issues. Additional suggestions include Arawan Namak for efficient reimbursement processes and Blue Cross Blue Shield for international coverage. There are also debates on motorcycle safety and driving in Thailand.

Don’t use Now Compare. I think they have quit scamming people now but they were fraudulent.

 I also have wr life - recently I was hospitalised for a few days, they paid the hospital directly not questions I didn't speak to anyone they dealt directly with the hospital. Great service.

I must admit I was nervous as you only know how good insurance is when you make a claim.
