AIA are brilliant, you could contact

@Sirina **********

for a quote, she's been really good 👍

You can't move to thailand you can only stay there for 180 days per year unless you want to be snared into paying your worldwide income tax and having to hire an expensive Thai authorized accountant. This is going create an uproar to all the long-term expats who have been living there since jan . Trust me it's posted on the version of an IRS website and it's going to catch you off guard when the finally start collecting

There are dozens of insurance agents and brokers throughout Thailand. Do a Google search for your area

I did accident insurance with the bank $1400 bhat per year am sure they do full health coverage too

The 22 years too late my I should think about it again mate there's plenty of better places now unfortunately Thailand 25 years ago was the place but not anymore it's like a council estate all the rough people of come there this fights every night now you go out this fight unless you like that sort of thing that's okay

On facebook

Best to organize it before you leave very expensive heat in Thailand

I have an “Expat Health Insurance”, which names Thailand as my main place I would be living as Expat. It’s not cheap, but last year it allowed me claims in my home country plus Thailand.

On internet 🛜

Who going to move scams and drugs country like Thailand? Not safe.

Use a local insurance broker

Chat GTP

You found the place - post that question here and 50 agents will contact you. When you research try to find reviews from people who have claimed. Too many people judge "how good" their insurance is by how much they pay. The only way to judge any insurance is by how much they pay out and how easy the claim process is. I went with a local provider with local representatives I could actually talk to locally, avoiding these online only global poroducts. If you're in hospital and they are looking for confirmation of cover or payment you are always going to be better off when they have people on the ground in country.

Allianz. Might not be the cheapest, but it's undoubtedly the best for expats.

Hassani hassani lol

Your post is way too vague. How old are you? Do you have pre-existing conditions? Where do you plan to live in Thailand, its a big Country, some places have big hospitals and plenty of clinics others don't have access to care for several kilometers drive. Are you looking for complete inpatient and outpatient coverage? Start by looking up AXA and AIA for reputable Thai companies.

Soi 6

Great question!

Safety wing

MSIG insurance for animals

There are some good and bad insurance companies. If you have a preexisting conditions, policies may get expensive.

I would recommend Feather, you can also travel around and be cover, it covers pre-existing conditions as well:

I and several people in my condo complex use these fine agents. Robert is a Canadian expat of 17yrs. He is married to the wonderful Thai lady in the picture.

Contact Joe. He has the connection with healthcare systems professionals including hospital and Clinics network in Thailand. Great price and cover every thing ( and based on your need), no hidden agenda.

Some much anger, maybe God is our insurance, only suggesting, don’t forget pre-existing, he killed is Son, enjoy living and then die.

AXA

spooky2 lol

My recommendation would be to start first with a short term monthly travel policy like Genki, and then shop around for longer term options later.

I live in a country without public health insurance, but I am confused. Don’t most civilized countries around the world have it? Promise, I’m not being a smartass, but why don’t national insurance plans cover your care when you move abroad ?

Cigna Global Benifits. Good everywhere but USA.. at least mine are.

I shopped and shopped and ended up using Pacific Prime. I found they had the best policies at the best price.

Be prepared though because pretty much everything you have ever been to a doctor for or is reveled in the medical physical you most likely will need to get depending on your age, will all be pre existing conditions and if anything happens that in any way can be connected to any of those conditions will not be covered. This is true with all insurers.

What's the average price per

Month

At the health insurance gettin place

Try insurance companies.

Are you fit to travel on your own ?

@Robert ********

does ours. His wifes an insurance agent and many of us expats use them as their pretty goof and its competitive. Have claimed in the past without issues and costs were covered immediately.

If you're under age 50, Safety Wing or Genki would likely be your best options. If you're 50+ and retired in Thailand, then you may want to explore more comprehensive healthcare options. Some of the more reputable insurers are AXA, Allianz, or Pacific Cross. Most people self-fund outpatient care, since the costs generally never meet the deductible. You'd definitely want insurance that covers inpatient emergency care that suits your needs.

Try the hairdressers

Try

@Tipanan *******

15 thousand steps and 1500 calories daily will give you the best health insurance.

You can get health insurance most countries. !

Good and comprehensive overview of options:

Many options as mentioned by many however some policies are not available depending on your age and preexisting conditions.

Try the butcher’s

Get in Thailand

Thai companies can be tricky and often want you to pay a year up in advance. Check out safety wing, Cigna global, and Genki insurance. It is not bad. You never know if these things are going to ever pay out or not. Sometimes we do, sometimes it doesn't, but I found that works well for me. I've never had to claim so who knows.

You want cheap or you want good?

Safety Wing seems to be the most popular.

Cigna global or safety wing

Pacific cross

Avoid mentioning pre existing conditions….just my opinion.

I don’t know this person, never done any business with them so it’s not a personal recommendation, but when I asked a friend recent who has lived there a long time who knows Thailand well, he said WR life he pays 3700 a month this guys their agent based in Thailand I believe. Maybe worth asking a few questions

They don’t have health insurance here like we have health insurance in the US. At least that has been my experience and I’ve been very disappointed. Here it’s all accident injury insurance. There’s no cheap doctor. There’s no reduced fee for diagnosis. It’s only if you’re injured yourself or have been injured by someone or something. So don’t get too extravagant with your insurance purchase. Above and beyond that there are a myriad  of little things that you would never think of being different or some extra part of something, and that something gets a fee that’s not included in your insurance if you were injured and you needed this extra thing.

Oh Dear. Must be the heat getting to these people

🤔🤔

It can be through a broker or insurance company directly. And there's local insurance and international insurance available.

Choice depends on your need and budget. This article has a detailed explanation about it.

Contact with she in e mail and everything is very easy. Guaranteed. I made already two times

Plenty of options for expats insurance in Thailand

Cigna Global

I got one from my own country for the first year it gives you time to look around when you are in Thailand, I ended up with the AIA.

AXA is popular. But there are insurance agents that might help.

Google is your friend

An insurance company
