Shaun Gous yikes, I'm not sure which companies you're looking at. Just to give an idea, as a 40 year old male, my premium for two of the best insurance companies are as follows: AIA - 30k for 5 million baht coverage, 40k for 15 and 50k for 25 million (per year)
AXA- 30k for 5 million and 32k for 20 million
baht (per year) + 10k/year if you want better out patient coverage
the thai insurance is around 30,000 to 50,000 baht a year NOT month...which is around 1000-1700 USD / year. Travel insurance from the likes of digital nomad and such should be around 100 dollars max per month. Are you sure your quote isn't per year??
just be careful because depending on where you apply they need anywhere from 1-6 months of funds in that account and won't accept recent transfers into accounts
