Thank you for your help

Why not buy travel insurance in your home country?

Don't know how true it is, but I was once told that you have to be resident in Thailand for at least 6 months of the year to have a Thai Health Insurance policy.

 

Either way, Mister Parakan ( https://misterprakan.com/intl/main?lg=en) is a good site for comparing insurance policies...

Because it is prohibitively expensive, so was just asking if was possible, and perhaps cheaper

The insurance companies from what they have told me is very strange. In the past insurance was about risk and depending on the risk the amount to cover you was calculated. Now, apparently, they do not do a risk analysis but pretty much as far as I can see pick a figure out of the air. I would assume that exceptions which they would not pay out on are detailed in the 2pt text at the bottom of the policy. Has anyone else been told they no longer perform a risk analysis when you apply for insurance?
