What are the costs of compulsory health insurance for the Non-Immigrant O-A visa in Thailand?
Kenny *****
It depends on whats your purpose of the insurance, if only to satisfy the OA requirements, the min is around USD 200+/year with AXA. But dont plan on using it for actual medical benefits, as deductible is very high.

If u r planning on a actual usable insurance, than it depends on yr age and any pre-existing conditions.

Is it better to have a dual SIM card phone or is an eSIM sufficient for use in Thailand?
Kenny *****
@Denice ******
 it depends on what you need and your budget. For top tier brand and model its better to get trade in @ US. Dont think any trade in program here, Its way cheaper with it.

If you only need a secondary phone just in case if main one die, non top model here is quite reasonable, my new secondary phone is about USD 200+.
