insulin is more expensive in Thailand than it was in the United States. I decided not to take the insulin. I lost weight when I was in Thailand for 3 months. Healthy organic food was the key.

@Brandon ***********

this is good information to know. I thought you had to have health insurance when living in Thailand. I'll just save my money in the bank, and pay out a pocket for my health care needs. Thanks ✌️

I would rather save my own money and bank it for emergencies than to pay an insurance company is what I'm getting at. I don't know if that's possible on a retirement Visa.

@Mike *****

How do you not pay if you're on a retirement Visa and already have health issues?

Just have your mail sent to your family member address or a friend, and that will be your new address. They don't have to know you're out of the country. Come home once a year to your primary doctor for your blood work and physical. Keep that money going to a bank in your country / city and you can withdraw it while you're in Thailand. It's a need to know basis and they don't need to know You're living abroad. Keep your health insurance from SSDI. That's my own personal opinion.

I'm sure if he came from Illinois he was corrupt, most of the governors we've had have been in prison. 😅

@Trevor *****

That's $10,000 USD dollars per month converted from baht. That's one heck of a pension but I don't think that's what he meant.

@Tony ********

I know you really don't need one, but I would strongly suggest getting one. It's done professionally and would seem more legit if it ever had to go through the court system.

You can do a Thai will, hire an attorney in Thailand and make her the beneficiary. Give them your account information.

@Frank *********

I was wondering that myself after reading these comments. 😅
