phetphet Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Depends on how old you are. Only available up to 60 y.o. Might be OK for minimum cover for younger members. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Aussieroaming Posted August 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2022 Read the exclusion list very carefully before you get any insurance, especially if outpatient treatment is excluded. Kasikorn Insurance is just Kasikorn Bank acting as an insurance broker for whatever insurance company is offering the policy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etaoin Shrdlu Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 The product appears to be a whole life insurance product issued by Muang Thai Life Assurance Company with a medical coverage extension. Kasikorn Bank is the insurance broker. Limits on offer are very low, with the maximum set at baht 500,000. This is not going to be anywhere near adequate for serious illnesses or accidents. Americans have tax reporting requirements with non-US whole life policies that are potentially quite onerous. Some Thai insurers may not provide whole life cover to foreigners. If you are looking for adequate medical cover and don't want life insurance, you should probably look elsewhere. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketDog Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Banks are for banking and insurance companies are for insurance. Cut out the middleman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomangosteen Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I had a cycling accident (hit by a motorbike sidecar) as well as grazes i had jaw injuries and lost the tops of five teeth; had accident/medical insurance through Kasikorn - they paid the hospital fees direct - including the pharmacy fees, for ongoing dental i had to submit the receipt after each dentist visit and the money was into my account on the third business day after putting in the claim. Not a huge amount involved in western terms but at the time the premium was so low as we'd invested at the time and there was a deal on this insurance. I found the Kasikorn staff and service excellent, as was the medical and dental care. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar accident, they said a broken jaw was cosmetic and refused to pay. Waste of money IMHO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
