Health Insurance In Thailand

[funlovinkid]

Hi gang,

I've been living in Thailand for about a year now (loving it, by the way), and currently have a health insurance policy that is up for annual renewal. I'm considering other options for health insurance, which I never really did when first arriving, and thought I'd fish around for opinions and recommendations here. I'm American, 51, in good health. Any suggestions?

Many thanks!

You can start by checking out the website for BUPA: www.bupathailand.com

They have a wide range of policies

I think health insurance is pertty crap in Thailand. bupa or whatever, they're pretty much the same. I got hospitalised for a day, got 60% back from the insurance company.Tthen a month later got hospitalised again for the same problem, also one day. Got back next to nothing. When I inquired about it I was told that if you get hospitalised for the same thing again within a 3-month period then we can';t help. If it's for somethng else fine we can hlep you with whatever percentage the coverage permits, but for the same problem = nope.
