I am 68 as well, and there is no proper insurance for us here. No need to try to find a good one.

Or go to the state hospital and pay a reasonable price until you can go to your country! Nobody can take your life savings if you are clever.

Well, I am from the EU, and almost everybody has health insurance there. I have lived here 14 years and I have a pink ID card and can go in any state hospital here.For major issues, I can go to EU.I am 67 years old and insurance here is more than 800 USD per month which is not acceptable for me, cos they do not cover any pre-conditional issue. From my knowledge they brag about money people mostly do not have money or have a little bit. For major problems, I can go to Vietnam Da Nang Private Hospital as well, cos it is much cheaper and the same or better quality. Besides I have more than 1 million BHT in my accounts here for emergencies. I am fully aware that people over 50 are not savvy enough to pay so costly insurance here and they can save much more if they make their money funds.

Who wants to pay health insurance in LOS? It is costly and does not cover pre-existing conditions.

I just tried to withdraw some money from my account at the Naklua Branch, and they told me that it's not possible before I verify the account at the Jomtien branch, where the account was opened.

We must have a new visa every year, so they can check every year visa is valid. Annoying.

I have been a BB bank holder for about 14 years, and in January of this year, I was informed that I need to verify my account in Jomtien if I wish to continue working with it. I had to go strictly to a bank in Jomtien where the account was opened. I lost a day verifying the account, although I have a Thai wife, a marriage visa, and a condominium here.

Well, China is not collapsing. It is true, but everything is not "nice" and will become more difficult. Trump's tax policy will hurt China hard. My friend works for a US company based in China and told me recently that business has almost stopped. Chinese are clever people, and they spend less in tough times and tend to work more.

The Thai baht is too strong, immigration rules are annoying and change often, and new tax policies for foreigners, rising prices, very expensive healthcare, and double pricing are some of the reasons as well. Vietnam, Cambodia even China are cheaper now. Thailand is not tourist-friendly like it was before.

I think that mostly Russians are involved.

You can get this condo for 5000BHT easy.

All written above is not budget friendly!

I think that he made a grave mistake. He could read many articles and news about red-light bars. You need to avoid such a place for a more extended stay and avoid being intoxicated. After all, did he waste time with a legal procedure? I have no empathy for him.

I think this is not about greedy Thai women, but more about stupid foreigners. They are much smarter than them. There are so many nice and decent women in Thailand, but they are maybe not so sexy for you and do not speak English. You got what you deserve.

Very costly after 60 -65 years old. At this age, all of us have some pre-existing problems which they do not cover at all. I can easily resolve minor health problems in Thai state hospitals at an acceptable cost. So, for me, health insurance is just a big cost for almost nothing! For bigger problems, I need to fly to the EU!
