What are my options for using a new phone with both US and Thai SIM cards, especially considering eSIM technologies?

Tony **********

AIS will do either esim or physical. I initially had them install as esim. I then discovered my phone will only allow 1 esim to be active at once. Went back and they converted it to physical sim. So not sure where you're getting your info. You shouldn't need more than 1 unlocked phone.

still confused on how in supposed to acquire tm30. Have gotten total of 5 CoR in first 2 months. I assumed they could just look up the tm30 versus supplying one more piece of paper....

I've always used (4 times now) a copy of the tm47 along with the rental agreement. I've never even seen my tm30....

What issues have others faced with Pacific Cross regarding hospital bill payments, and what advice can you offer?

I'm living here. Easy to get travel insurance from home country that will cover you for 1-3 months of holiday. That's not heath insurance though. The key with travel insurance is the medical evacuation coverage to get you back to home country where your normal health insurance will cover you.

I don't recommend any. I've chosen to tuck money away every month and have chosen to self insure. The majority of my risk scenarios would be excluded so don't see a need to donate to large corporations.

cancer coverage maybe covered but any cardiac, liver or kidney issues are many times excluded. Not many males over 50 that are not receiving blood pressure medication. That then can exclude any number of maladies. Insurance here is highly individualized and the actuary is mostly Thais who never do preventative medicine.
