ThaiLife Funeral Plan

[The Fugitive]

Friend of my Thai Mrs visited the other day. Her Swedish husband has recently died at 66 from destruction of his liver and stomach by whisky. His pension wasn’t enough to support his habit and consequently she struggled to find 150,000 baht funeral expenses. His pension has stopped and the poor woman is really up against it now.

 

My Mrs has taken out a 300,000 baht funeral plan for me with ThaiLife. It’s a 20 year plan, annual premium 31,920. If I survive the term (I’m 66) the premiums paid are refunded in full plus a 60,000 baht bonus totalling 698,400. No payout in the event of death within the first 2 years.

 

I would have appreciated ‘one-off’ accident insurance more but credit to my Mrs for taking the long term view!
