Who do you fellow New Zealander DTV folk use for insurance long-term over there?

My last (tourist trip) over there found me hospitalised with food poisoning after eating raw oysters in Songkhla and I'm pretty keen to not go through the expenses of anything like that without insurance again...

Are there affordable options with decent cover for medical and possibly personal belongings?

What would be a good health insurance company / package for a DTV holder?

What it the best insurance for who be older than 70

Which health insurance can we apply for with a DTV visa? Which one offers the best value for money? I’m looking forward to your recommendations.

I’ve got a dilemma re travel insurance. I’m nearly 70 years old and will be traveling January-March, Thailand and Laos. I am in good health, no pre existing health conditions. I have researched and I am being quoted £450 up. The supposedly better ones at around £800 and above. When reading reviews, they seem to be more focused on the price of the actual cover,rather than any claims. It seems the majority of people have difficulties when trying to claim. So many exclusions and ways that the company will try and get out of paying. I am seriously considering not bothering and taking the chance. Am I crazy or what?

Can you get health insurance from Thai company with the DTV visa?

Can anyone recommend any health insurance, I'm originally from the U.K. so never had to worry about any health care needs. I'm looking at staying in Thailand with my DTV so want to make sure I'm covered.

What kind of health insurance do you recommend for the DTV?

Heard axa is a god company.

I have a statutory health insurance in Germany, which I will cancel as soon as I go to thailand.

Insurance should only last for 5 years, which should reduce the price.

Thanks for advise.

I’ve posted before about health insurance for long term visitors (not Travel Insurance). Previously found annual policy for around $3000 USD and now one for $2500, but can’t seem to find anything cheaper or as comprehensive, although these are pretty much only for catastrophic coverage. Anyone find anything more reasonable that provides similar coverage? TIA
