Popular Post mercman24 Posted April 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2019 ok i dont know if she has insurance or not, but for a young person health/travel insurance is very cheap, even when i was 65, (long time ago he he) my insurance was £30 for one month (1500 baht at the time,) so there is no excuse at all with flights costing £450/500, plus spends plus accommodation. its cheap price to pay. my mate came to see me, his ins not much (him 68), caught denghi fever, bill for 2 days, 40,00 baht, but got it back within one week on return to the uk 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post happy chappie Posted April 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2019 Would be nice to know what sort of infection costs £25,000.if she's too ill to travel then the treatment will have to be done here.ive had pneumonia lung infection out here that would of killed me and it didn't cost nothing like that and I was treated in bkk phuket hospital.a good course of anti biotics usually does the trick. taking out the wrong insurance is about as daft as not having any insurance.medical insurance for a person of her age would of been under £200. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree, the travel agencies and airline staff at the check ins should be briefed to ask if a travel insurance is present. They do it for Visas when there is no return ticket why not for health insurances? 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraday Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 If she has a 'serious infection' then that will need treatment before flying back. Therefore, £25k isn't needed imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post malagateddy Posted April 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2019 Wrong..I live in the Chaiyaphum Province..and I repeat..press coverage like this WILL encourage the Thai Govt to introduce MANDATORY HEALTH CARE INSURANCE for expats who live here on retirement or marriage extensions.We will all know soon enough before the end of this year. you seem to be fixated spamming posting trolling this stuff day after day on thread after thread, what exactly is your agenda, may I suggest you create your own thread and see if anyone actually wants to discuss it do you even live in Thailand ?

Popular Post SammyT Posted April 10, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2019 The moment when a wannabe social media "influencer" works out that clicks from fans don't always amount to dollars in the bank. Zero sympathy for travelling without insurance. This doesn't even appear to be one of those instances where she has had her insurance voided through some technicality. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
