I made a BIG BIG MISTAKE . Been here one month on DTV. Was in Dansai Loei Isaan. Slipped on wet path, fell. Excruciating agony Right hip. Cannot move leg. In hospital, waiting for MRI to open up tomorrow, to rule out hip fracture.

Didn’t think anything could happen to me. Briefly checked insurance rates but got confused frustrated, and bored.

If I can dodge a bullet and walk out of here, first thing I’ll do is get insurance. I have insurance in the US. Covers only emergencies. Takes hours to submit claim, months later, they might pay.

The day before I was just thinking, everything in Isaan wants to kill you. Ran into Giant spider, snake while hiking. Food wants to kill you, roads want to kill you. Didn’t think a little rain woiuld get me.

Small suggestion, get insurance.

Is this true or is it false. Read the original posters story please

Hello!

I'm about to do my first re-entry while having a DTV active (entered with it Thailand in end of January and have to extend or re-enter now for the +180 days. By plane (singapore). Aside from the visa document, do I need anything else for the airport? I've been reading all the posts about being stricter now. I don't have a statement showing money in bank account, but I can show the money through e-banking if needed (they are across few accounts, all mine). The DTV was as digital nomad (showed portfolio and business and money back then).

We're here until October on a tourist visa will then complete DTV in australia before returning.

How have others transitioned their travel insurance? Do we need to cancel our normal policy and transition to expat insurance?

For context we are 31 and 32 with a 2.5 year old.

We've got a 12 month lease and car here. From australia.

Can someone please advise me on a reasonable travel/ health insurance company for a Canadian on an OA visa please

Calling all Thailand adventurers and DTV holders! 🇹🇭

I'm currently planning my trip to Thailand on the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and looking for some wisdom from this fantastic group! 🙏

While the DTV doesn't always have strict health insurance mandates, I definitely want to be prepared for any unexpected bumps in the road.

For those of you who have obtained or are planning to use the DTV, what travel insurance providers have you found to be the best for basic coverage?

Specifically, I'm hoping to hear about plans that effectively cover:

* Medical emergencies (hospitalization, doctor visits)

* Emergency evacuation (just in case!)

* Repatriation of remains (always important to have this covered, even if you hope to never need it)

Bonus points for any providers that are known for good customer service or easy claims processes, especially if you've had to use them while in Thailand.

I am in Jomtien and am having GERD-like symptoms that persist. Can anyone recommend a reputable medical facility for DX/treatment?

Looking for a recommendation for a local insurance company and travel insurance (baggage delay, loss, etc) that covers DTV holders. My current insurance starts and ends in my home country which I don’t actually reside in so not applicable - any help is appreciated!

Applying for my DTV Visa from Ho Chi Minh next week.

Do they ask for Travel / Health Insurance? I currently have SafetyWing and I'm wondering if it's sufficient or if they will ask for documentation.

Hey everyone, enjoy reading the posts here. I’m heading over to Thailand mid to end of July for around 5 weeks. Coming from Australia. Not a big partier. Would love to travel around a bit see as much as I can. And meet the local people. My question is quite broad, wondering what are the must see places to visit Also wondering if there might be something that needs to be done that often gets forgotten in preperation for the trip, even if you think it might be the simplest of things? Anybody recommend a travel insurance that’s suited for Thailand. Also thanks in advance for any replies.
