What types of insurance are recommended for expats in Thailand?

Geoff ********

Depending on your age, location and what type of insurance you are seeking. For health insurance I would not recommend AETNA.

What are the best hospital insurance options for foreigners in Thailand?

Geoff ********

I would not recommend AETNA health insurance ( previously known as BUPA THAILAND). Depending on your age of course, the annual premiums are VERY expensive. If you are here on a non O-A visa you must also have outpatient cover of 40,000 baht.
