What are the best health insurance options for retirees in Thailand, especially for those over 65?

David **********

Here’s what I would do. Open a Thai bank account deposit 800,000 THB go to Thailand on a tourist visa exemption given upon arrival. Go to immigration and change your visa exemption non immigrant O visa This visa does not have an insurance requirement. I’ve been on it for seven years now

How much time should I allow before my flight at Suvarnabhumi Airport?

@Simon *********

Airlines do not open check in counters before three hours before your flight. So I don’t see how the extra hour is going to be of any benefit. Did you get luggage checked at the counter for hours before your flight?
