Should I disclose my diabetes when applying for health insurance in Thailand?

@Andy *********

I’m not putting out false hope, just because you don’t believe it. I reversed mine and I’ve had a normal A1C for 3 years, I know what the truth is. If you want to rename it “remission”, I don’t care, but mine is gone. Kaput. History. Never coming back because I’ll never stop eating this way.

@Robert **********

Yep, I eat it every day. Steaks, ground beef, and eggs. That’s it!

Is it type 1 or type 2? If it’s type 2, it’s caused by poor diet and eating too many carbohydrates for your own personal physiology. You can totally reverse type 2 diabetes to a normal A1C (5.6 or less) with an ultra low carb diet. It might take 6 months or more depending on how high it is now, but may be a good way to go in the long run.

Can U.S. citizens still stay in Thailand for 60 days without a visa despite recent changes?

@John ********

My wife has a Thai passport and a U.S. Passport. She arrives in Thailand and leaves Thailand on her Thai passport, and leaves the U.S. and arrives in the U.S. on her U.S. passport. No problems so far. Should be the same for the UK.

How challenging is it to obtain a retirement visa in Thailand when arriving on a tourist visa within the last 60 days?

@Dan ****

That money will have to sit in your Thai bank account for a minimum of 2 months before you can use it for your visa, which is why people normally get a non-O 90 day visa before they come so they have a solid month to get the bank account and money in it for it to season the following 2 months before their 90 days are up.

@Rick ********

William has the best option for you. Just go to the local amphur and married legally in thailand. It’s just paperwork.
