There are actually some small family operated coffee farms in Loei in Phuruea district and Nahaeo district. The coffee grown there is ok and drinkable but not premium. In lower regions than that the result will certainly not be good. I tasted also coffee from the mountains in Petchabun nearby and liked the taste more.

Yes, I had to ask at several pharmacies to find it. Anyway it is still available and I always buy more to keep it in stock at home.

I suggest Systral cream, excellent for itching and swelling. This is an antihistaminic cream, I always keep it at home.

Ok, this particular insurer told me that every 5 years there will be a substantial increase because of a new age bracket in addition to a modest increase every 2 years or so to cover inflation. In my case I was also hit with a similar percentage increase after 60. The steep increase is also something which concerns me. They do offer a deductable plan on request, this is also mentioned on their website.

Yes, but the figures do not add up because the mentioned premium of 142.000 Baht per year for this age group seems not to be the outpatient premium only. At least not according to my own premium at the same company and age bracket. Maybe the OP could check the contract regarding coverage and the surcharge for pre-existing condition again.

The OP mentioned that the surcharge for the pre-existing condition is just 25,000 Baht per year so this matter is a bit confusing.

Yes, premium increases are high. The figures quoted are however for inpatient plus outpatient. If you change the coverage to inpatient only premium are probably half of that. And passportcard also offers deductables to further lower your premium. If you choose April international for inpatient plus outpatient premium will be much higher, more than double of the quoted figures per year. You should compare both companies for the same coverage and options of plans and deductables.
