Anybody had problems with Pacific Cross not paying hospital bills? Any advice? We are in the hospital and having problems with them paying the bill.

P.S. Please, I'm looking ONLY for opinions/advice from those who have or have had Pacific Cross insurance, not opinions of insurance or other companies to consider. So, no rants and opinions about the pros and cons of insurance. Thanks.

what health insurance do you use in thailand, what's the coverage and how much you pay monthly?

Update: I was able to get the price from Medisafe. Thanks to all for the help.

Hi, my family and I are moving to Thailand next year, and I've been working through all the logistics. I've been trying to get a rough estimate of what our various prescriptions will cost, and I've got most of them figured out well enough, except one. My mom has Parkinson's and takes a medication called Sinemet (carbidopa/levodopa). Does anyone here have experience filing this medicine and how much it may cost or know a resource I could reach out to for pricing? She goes through around 180 pills per month (6/day).

Is there an Eye Doctor who can do a full medical eye exam (not glasses prescription) who is NOT in a hospital? Jomtien or Pattaya

Does anybody know where I can get a doctor to spray liquid nitrogen onto sun damaged skin. Thank you in advance.!!

Anyone done lasik here? What was the cost? Anyone know if the pricing is same for Thais and/or if their insurance covers it?

Just a Sobering thought for those thinking about whether they really need travel Insurance, last Tuesday evening my wife stepped off the kerb in Bkk. Something she has done hundreds of times in the last month. This time she hit a bit of rough bitumen, fell, and broke 2 bones in her ankle. Picked her up from hospital today, we are still to fly home but cost 325,000 bht to date. Convert that into your own currency in $Aud it's $16000 according to my credit card

Hi all! New here. I'll be traveling to Thailand for 12 weeks starting January. I have two questions:

1. Rabies vaccine - can I get it in Bangkok? As the only protection it gives is that you have 48 hrs instead of 24 hrs to find a doctor, I prefer to get it in Thailand if possible, since it is really expensive for the protection it affords.

2. Driver's license - I plan to rent or buy a moped there to get around, and am planning to get an international driver's license for Thailand and probably Laos. Is that necessary though? Are people usually checked for international license or will your own country's be sufficient?

Thanks in advance 😃

I am lookong at health insurance options at the moment. I'm 66 this year. Can anyone explain what 'srlf-insurance' means. Is it a specified amount in a dedicated accouny? TIA
