What insurance options are recommended for retirees in Thailand on a Non-O Visa?
Tony **********
Non-o visa has no insurance requirement. Be careful with insurance here. It's archaic and previous treatment (and possibly related) will be excluded.

Tony **********
Show up at bank prepared with proper docs (copy of visa, passport bio and stamp page, Thai phone number in your name, residence certificate from immigration and a copy of a long term lease will help). Dress professionally and ask with humility. Professionalism (preparedness and presentation) go a long way in showing respect.

@Robert *******
 send in USD, Thai bank will give you better rate. I find the break even point for me it's about ฿150k. More than that, sending by wire is cheaper.
