What was the experience of getting a hip replacement in Thailand for an expat?

David ****

Thanks for sharing your experience, glad your procedure was a success. Just a question… clearly your condition was pre-existing, but if you had a retirement visa which requires Thai medical insurance would that have covered some of the costs?

Can you open a bank account in Thailand on a visa exemption without additional requirements?

David ****

I assume only within Thailand. So does it cover medical costs and possibly accidents on motorbikes? I would think not

Congrats on your new account. What’s the accident insurance for? Also for how long is the supposed coverage?

thanks for the advice. You do make some good points but I’d rather not need to transfer the relatively large sum of money to a Thai bank just yet. Haven’t checked the health insurance rates yet but I’m sure they’ll be significantly less than here in the states. At least initially I think it’s good to have insurance. Thanks

I really appreciate all the info you’re sharing. Seems like it’s a simple process. When you do a border bounce, do you extend your medical insurance for another year. Is it required?

thank you for this useful advice. Where do you border bounce? Laos? And usually for how long before returning to Thailand?
