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

@Chris ********

As a yardstick, it is estimated that such a safety net bank account needs to contain a minimum of three million Thai baht (85,000 USD).

There are expats living on their government retirement pensions. They may or may not have savings. It isn’t a problem unless they suffer a serious accident or illness that prevents them returning to their home countries for treatment.

What should I do if I get bitten by a stray dog in Thailand?

You’ve done the right thing. Go to A/E as soon as possible. Not expensive in Thailand. You should be able to claim under your travel insurance (if applicable).

Possibly the agent was only trying to be helpful in anticipating that an immigration officer could see an opportunity to ask for a tip/bribe? Alternatively, the agent could be touting for business if obtaining replacement/renewed passports are part of their service?

Providing it’s a machine readable passport I don’t understand how wear and tear on the cover could cause any problem?

Why are different Thai immigration offices requesting varying accommodation documentation for visa extensions?

Christopher ***********

Immigration Officer's seem to be 'tightening up' in general, requesting photocopies of forms and documents they hadn't previously asked for. What they are asking from you sounds normal.

I know someone who was banned for five years. He has an ordinary job hence hasn’t any spare cash. He waited out his ban and then returned to Thailand.
