this is the only.correct answer here tbh

It depends on what underwriting you choose

Either a full medical disclosure and certain insurers will accept things while most will permanently exclude

Or a moratorium - however it's normally (uk anyway) anything last 5 years excluded for first 2 years if you can go 2 years without symptoms treatment advice or medication

If its a chronic condition you've got its never going to he covered unless you can get medical history disregarded (large cooperate scheme ridiculously expensive)

Got to remember the tax year is coming to an end and next year the new rules come into play

Probably a lot of people moving money now

To add what Todd said one of the hurdles you're going to have is getting a bank account in thailand that quickly - most wont let you get it on a 30 day exempt but some will on a tourist. (Bangkok bank) is very friendly however you'd need a certificate of residency and to buy their insurance depending where you go before you can open up a bank acc
