What is the best health insurance for expats over 70 living in Thailand?
Mike ********
@Stephen *********
 I don’t think it matters if it’s Thai insurance or European / American insurance, but it must cover you for this amount,, Coverage: The policy must cover the entire duration of the applicant's stay in Thailand and have a minimum coverage of 3,000,000 Thai Baht or $100,000 per policy year
