It’s definitely beneficial if you need to go to one of those private hospitals. They’re not cheap. My mom is currently in Bangkok Hospital pattaya after her kidneys suddenly failed.

I have an international expat health insurance which covers even pre existing conditions

Try telling them that you just come from a birthday party and thai people stapled them together around your neck. Works well with thai baht. Good luck 😂
