I thought it would get easier here at older age
Healthcare for Older Expats in Thailand – A Word to the Wise and for those of us with a few more candles on the cake… As we get older, medical needs naturally increase by a lot!— but there are two things that many older expats in Thailand either underestimate or find out the hard way: Health Insurance Gaps - Far too many long-term expats don’t have sufficient insurance to cover serious health issues later in life. Premiums shoot up with age, and some find themselves priced out or excluded altogether. Relying on “pay as you go” might work for minor stuff — but not for a stroke, bypass, or cancer treatment. Secondly, upselling health checks & “observation” tactics - Be cautious, especially with larger private hospitals in the tourist-heavy areas (Pattaya, Phuket, etc). There are reports — and I know one example firsthand — of hospitals inviting older patients (invariably 70+) in for a routine checkup, only to be strongly advised to stay overnight “just for observation.” Translation: they talk you into staying, then charge eye-watering rates for a night in a glorified hotel bed with a saline drip. Some facilities look excellent but see older foreigners as cash cows. Always get a second opinion, don’t be afraid to question recommendations, and never feel pressured into a hospital stay you’re unsure about. -

New passport questions - retirement visa - is CW asking for a bank statement?
I just got my new passport. My 90-day report is due so am planning a visit to CW to get my visa stamps transferred to the new passport and do the in person 90 day report. Will photocopies of my updated bank book be sufficient, or are they also asking for a statement from the bank like I submit during my annual extension application? Will I also need to update my TM30? many thanks in advance. -
