More rumours but logical if Insurance is just a means of supporting insurance companies. However if it to provide for the cover they demand 40,000THB out-patient and 400,000THB in-patient care, where is the logic in increasing the 800,000THB which we already hold ? 

What you mean by supporting insurance companies ? You think they make those rules for supporting them ? In every civiliced country i know, you have to show proof of insurance if you want to visit. My healthinsurance in Thailand cover up to 5 mill.Baht , used it once, last month whent to BP hospital because of pain in my left upper leg. Examination by doctor number 4 last month,replacement of hip (whitch was the problem) number 17, hospital took care of everything with the insurance company, all i showed them was a copy of my passport/valid visa and the insurance card. The bill was 419000 Baht, i covered a pair of sticks (4500Baht) wrote my name and went home.

The 800000 you already hold is a guarantee for your living expences here, not including healtcare, wich can be far away more expensiv than 800.000.

I choose to stay only 4-6 months a year in thailand.I have pension enough to have a good life there.Anyway i will stay 6-8 months a year in norway.Thailand is expencive for many to live in,even thais complain because everything gets more expencive.

If you tell me that you can live cheaper in Norway, i tell you you are wrong. And i am a Norwegian too.

It's coming soon. None of the visas are safe these days. Wait for the flood of reports later of retirement visa holders being denied entry and/or extensions for some reason. The new health insurance requirement is the 1st step of things changing.

But living in a foreign country WITHOUT health insurance is safe ?

Just checked the exchange rate forecast and the dollar is tipped to go as low as 9.3 by Dec 2024 so at that rate no farang could afford to live here . 

Believe me, that can not the Thai’s either. Why worry for something that MIGHT happen 5 years forward in time. The export industry and tourisme sector is already near the limit, wait and see. Things will happen.

Blablabla. Let them predict. This year winter came october 17, nobody has seen it yet. This is only speculation , and a lot of things can and will happen before that. Calm down.

Go one, after all you entertain the world with all this svada.

Mai pen rai

Use 3bb fiber , 300/100, but they upgraded for free, so now 500/200. Been watching all the bicycling this spring/summer with very good result. Very few drops. I know the servers from the provider is in former estern europe, i believe in slovenia. Also premier league is ok, few drops.

Send him out ASAP. Idiot

Am i wrong, or is this «medecine» the oposite of what most other countrys recomend ?

Many different opinions here. I was at Bangkok pattaya yesterday, appoitment with a orthopedist, xray and back to the doctor again. 2100 Baht, not that bad.

on the other hand, to replace left hip 450-500.000 Baht. Happy for my insurance.

         Panda , is the latest  and least expensive delivery option, taking over in Essan

           You forumites , probaly never heard of it , remain in your cyber caves . 555

         We dont eat out anymore , wine and dine at home, brilliant delivery service, even in the sticks.

         Then we cuddle up, and watch Netfix movies, and of course a happy ending , as per norm,  paradise ...

Assume you mean foodpanda ? Got that in Pattaya as well, Grab is much cheaper, they charge 29 Baht for delivery.

No, but they are scare of the elecric bill.

Yeah, this is another gift from Trump to US expats in Thailand.  The US economy had been churning along with the feds poised to raise rates, which would have boosted the dollar.  But the economic uncertainty, largely from Trump tariffs and the looming China trade war, has derailed that.  Not to mention the Iran crisis--another Trump gift--which is sure to raise oil prices and create more uncertainty.  Thanks Trump.     

That’s what happen when you let a clown run the country.
