Wongkitlo Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Thanks for the post. I bought Roojai . For 800 baht hard to go wrong. The inlybworry is there is a 14 day exclusion period. I don't like Bangkok Bank. My wife banks with them. They always seem to do everything backwards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are just under observation I guess would come from the 100000b. Hopefully that would be enough. I liked the peace of mind for 830b. My only worry is there is a 14 day waiting period. I am now on day 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Triangle Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I had a look at the coverage, it looks as though the medical cover is only upto 100,000 Baht with upto 1 million in financial compensation, having said that it's still value for money so got one for me and her indoors, just gotta hunka down for 14 days now, that shouldn't be too difficult considering the way things are going here ????????

Lacessit Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I bought through Roojai, policy was posted to me after 3 weeks. Although how they know I don't have COVID is a bit beyond me, unless they have access to a national database, or hospital registers. AFAIK I have 100,000 baht in cover for admittance to hospital, and if I cark it with the same condition, my GF will get 1 million baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's my take on it as well, I took out a policy for myself and my girlfriend, 100,000 Baht should provide a decent room and treatment in a Thai hospital, as long as the insurer's don't try to wriggle out of their obligations if push comes to shove. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO if one was to die of a heart attack while on a COVID ventilator, that would be deemed the cause of death. Most insurance companies have whole departments dedicated to weaseling out of claims by any legal pretext available. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyJames Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 On further examination I found that Roojai are together with TIPINSURE.com Google Tipinsure If you scroll down on the Tip site they have one more policy at 1950 Baht which is probably at better bet. AS they say here "Up to You" I was looking for a better one at the 5-8,000 Baht premium but there does NOT seem to be any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their 850 baht option (Plan 4) has 1 million for coma but 100k for medical expenses.

I filled in the TGIA online form like I was just about to arrive in Thailand, there premium is nearly 25,000 Baht for the 100KUSD 12 mths coverage but... Like you said , for some reason it is NOT available for us already here. I went with Roojai at 850Baht it gives me some coverage at least .until I can find something better , if anybody does please post it Thanks Jamez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyJames Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Further to this topic of Covid Insurance Pattaya Specific Does anybody know the procedure for FALANGS who suspect that they MAY have covid. I am perfectly well but on asking my friends nobody knows anything. I assume that the authorities would NOT want anybody to turn up to Banglamung or Pattaya City Hospitals, Queue up and wait for a Doctor, (How many could you infect this way) Where is the Covid facility for the Pattaya Area? Perhaps the Naval Hospital?? If anybody actually knows please Post Thank You Jamez Pls move to the Pattaya Forum if that is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
