Lawrence ********

DO NOT OVERSTAY

- Bring your documents to Thai immigration and explain the situation.

- Anything they say, get in writing.

- Get a visa extension to avoid the negative mark on your passport.

What is the average cost of medical insurance for expats in Thailand over 65 years old?

Lawrence ********

At around $485 per month that's still less than half what I would pay in the states for a plan that has a $6,000 usd deductible in addition to the monthly premium of close to $1,000 per month premium.

What is the cheapest American carrier to keep my phone number active for 2FA while living in Bangkok?

Lawrence ********

What phone?

Setup a free Google Voice account, port your number over to the account. Will work on Wi-Fi only, but you can receive calls to the old number, SMS, 2FA. Try it out with a free number first if you like. You can select one when signing up.
