What are the best health insurance options for expats living in Thailand?

Geoff ********

@Sammy ******

can I correct you about BUPA/AETNA ? They give cover for life if you joined them before 60, not 65 as you mentioned. I joined 20 years ago at age 59 and no exclusions as I was healthy at that time. Now 78 and the annual premium is 207,000 baht. And going up. BUPA gave great service. Not so with AETNA in my opinion.

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.

What is the purpose of the new 300 baht fee for entering Thailand and do I need health insurance to enter?

Geoff ********

If you look back at the stats before the introduction of compulsory OPD health insurance for farangs. There were no live in expats in the list. It was all people from neighboring countries and tourists who were escaping without paying. What security was in place at those hospitals ?

What are the benefits of using a Starling Bank account in Thailand?

Geoff ********

To those sarcastic responses. Typical in this forum. I asked a simple question because I had never heard of it before. Perhaps I should have Googled first. Just shows you how cynical the members can be.
