Health Insurance In Thailand

[simon43]

A recent event got me thinking. My Thai brother-in-law has just been diagnosed with lung cancer at the age of 33. Too much smoking... He cannot afford any 'decent' treatment and - from googling re lung cancer - it would probably not help much

When I lived in the UK I had BUPE medical insurance which gave me a little peace of mind. But what about a comparable private medical insurance policy in Thailand? Can anyone recommend a company which can provide cover for Thai and non-Thais in Thailand (me and my wife)?

I know there have been a few threads on this before, but I want to get some up-to-date comments.

Thanks - Simon

No idea, company pays for that.

That does not save me from paying 400US$ per month for national JP insurance.
