Is it really 150 baht per year or per month? What is the coverage in case we get the virus?

My coverage is 550,000thb. There are 4 different plans.  I really don't care if monthly or yearly, 450thb was cash down for MY policy.

that is a preposterous sum , 100,000 dollars , i just checcked and that is 3,106,000 over 3 million baht, how the hell is some poor thai worker going to find the money to pay the premium ,just to get home, would be interesting to know what in fact the premium would be, edit ! (just read 14, to 15,000 baht) and no way would they run up 3 million baht hospital fees,  another rip off, like having to 40,000 baht for outpatient cover, when my friend had two skin cancer treatments that ccost him 6000 baht.

i read valid doctors certificate not older than one day,how bloody stupid is that, so imagine one is off to the airport, how the heck does one get to see a doctor, got to give notice in the uk, (like i am gonna be sick next week i want to book a doctor) ok not sure about other countries , so you drag your suitcases along to the doctors get your cert, then bus or transport to the airport then <deleted> i  have missed my flight, and now you have got to do this all again as your certificate is invalid lol
