I agree the care is fabulous and not expensive for private, but in most western countries we have the choice of free government care. So a heart attack here for a Brit can wipe out our savings. My health insurance covers the world other than the US so appreciate the costs there

Get a travel insurance from your country, you certainly should not come here without one, regardless of your own health. Anyone of us can trip or fall, be involved in any type of accident, so unless you have quick and easy access to a huge sum of money, please get covered. Health care here is great but expensive as you'd be taken to a private hospital where staff can communicate with you

Many agents are located in pattaya but if you are intending to live in Bangkok then certainly Thai Visa Centre can help you. they are extremely helpful, don't worry they also open a bank account for you

@Milan *******

what is your age?or is that monthly payment ?

not everyone is able to complete their documents, one forgot the hyphen in their surname and have had a rejection.

Small error has cost them, as amendments you must repay the fee! So in that example it would not be expensive to have paid an agent! Obviously digital nomads are great at IT but this visa is also for boxing, health, cookery to name a few options

Depends on age, what if any medication you take, whether you want to include cover as an outpatient.

I am with Allianz Ayudhya late 60's no out patients cover and annual premium is over 90,000 baht. Very happy with them, paid numerous claims in full and directly with the hospital, for me a very important fact. They accept monthly payments with no additional charge

Route 2 is easiest but ensure you take ring road around the cities like Korat .

Not sure how construction is going near Chachoengsao but 331 is more scenic although has traffic lights compared to using motorway out of pattaya

Alternative to 331 using motorway 7 is faster but less scenic

You want a townhouse with 3 to 4 floors? Or you mean a studio condo on 4th floor??

Bangkok modern accommodation is expensive, outside of Bangkok is obviously cheaper and 2 hours away like in jomtien you can get a very high standard one bedroom for this price
