I came to Thailand in 2013 with the OA visa and there was no special compulsory insurance. Therefore I only took out insurance with APRIL for inpatient treatment (coverage $ 1,000,000) Since the end of 2019, a special Thai insurance has been compulsory, APRIL was not recognized. Just to get the certificate for the one-year extension, I then took out an actually pointless insurance with LMG. Cost per year (I'm 73 years old): 11,400 baht with a deductible of 200,000 baht.
