What international health insurance options do expats recommend for living in Thailand?

Stephen ********

Be very careful. I was with Cigna. Never claimed but after a birthday they tripled the premium. Said I reached a higher risk pool. Yeah I got a year older! So whatever they quote initially they never guarantee to only increase relative to Inflation. I cancelled and use saved premiums to pay as I go. But bills for surgery etc are not cheap

What are the best health insurance options for long-term expats in Thailand?

@Aaron ********

I didnt look. Decided to pay as I go. Some big bills but better than paying insurers commissions and overheads with low certainty of claims ever being paid.
