Lots out there we finally settled with Pacific Prime - I guess we only know how good there are when we get to claim I pay 35k a year which excludes outpatient , however you will need that for the O-A visa - I got here before insurance was introduced/imposed and in Phuket those rights are grandfathered

Pay a bribe through an agent or Bangkok Bank and buy an insurance policy at least with the latter you get something in return - for what it’s worth.
