TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, obtaining health insurance for a retirement or marriage visa generally does not require a mandatory policy if applying within the country. For covid insurance, which may be necessary for entry, costs are approximately 6,000 baht for three months. General health insurance costs vary based on age and health conditions, and it is advisable to consult with a broker. A popular provider mentioned is Arawan Namak, with satisfactory customer experiences reported.

Are you talking general health insurance or covid insurance for entering country.

Covid insurance about 6000 baht for three months.

General health insurance depends upon your age, underlying health conditions and you would need to speak to a broker about that

if you're doing either of those inside the country you don't need any mandatory health insurance SO just look around and find a policy that suits you.
