Why is travel insurance important for expats in Thailand, particularly after a medical emergency?

Greg *********

Obviously, insurance (of any kind) is a gamble. You're paying for something you hope you don't need. But if/when you DO need it, it's too late to get it if you don't already have it. Just be sure to read those "limitations & exclusions" in your contract's fine print, because, as they say, the devil is in the details.
