What should I consider when getting health care insurance with pre-existing conditions in Thailand?

Bob *******

The U.K. based insurers normally have a moratorium and cover pre existing conditions after a period. You have to ask to have it removed. In Thailand I don’t think any offer this but get it before your 70 otherwise self insure.

What is the best way to send money from the UK to Thailand: in Baht or Pounds Sterling?

no examples that I wish to share but experienced the charges.

I just pay Wise when I need to transfer. Either by card or bank transfer.

What are the transfer fees and best methods for sending money to Thailand from the UK?

Bob *******

Do your due diligence first. I read recently that Wise transfers don’t count as money sent from abroad which is a problem if at some point you need to repatriate it.
