He might check the ADAC Langzeit insurance, covering a under 66 year old up to 24 months: https://www.adac.de/produkte/versicherungen/auslandskrankenversicherung-langzeit/tarife-und-leistungen/ Edited July 27, 2018 by BernieOnTour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissie Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Absolutely possible to live on 36K/Mo. BUT: It's the unforseen Health/Accident risk that hangs like "the sword of Damokles" over the head of so many Farangs living in Thailand. Health insurance expensive, pre-existing conditions not covered. Self insure? Sure, as long as ones private "Self-Insurance-Fund" consists of several million Bht. Cheers.

A Thai feeds his whole family 20k and rent. There all fat and plump. Thailand is cheap. A stupid man will always give more Most Thais have a lot of debt, being fat says nothing about the food being good.

I don't think op will do too bad on his 920 euros pension. And they are all looking for the cheapest food and drinks and don't have a proper health insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiangMaiLightning2143 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I have USA based private health insurance. National Health care sounds like a good idea to me, even as a staunch conservative , for various reasons. If I become ill, say I if I break my arm, it is covered. It does not matter if I brake it in the USA on a sidewalk, on vacation in Thailand riding a motorbike or falling off the stage at "Long Gun" Soi Cowboy, I don't buy travel insurance it would be redundant. Should I be buying it? Tell me again what is so great about socialized medicine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
