July 23, 200520 yr With the exception of AIA, does anyone know of reputable health insurance agent in Hua Hin. Am 59 years old with some pre-existing medical conditions and understand what that means in terms of premiums. Any replies most appreciated. Dukkha
July 23, 200520 yr I'm still too much of a FNG/New kid on the block to have actually tried him, but some folk recommend contacting a guy named Colin Devonshire at the Hua Hin Oberver, who seems to offer less obviously farang rates. His address is [email protected]. Good luck! With the exception of AIA, does anyone know of reputable health insurance agent in Hua Hin.

This discrimination is not allowed in many countries. Thai medical services are so cheap that I reckon it is not worth taking out medical insurance Tony

July 30, 200520 yr Medical stuff.. My oldest son, who's nearly 16, is talented and has been seemingly unlucky in some of his athletic endeavors. He's had three concussions, a broken femur, twice a broken arm .. I still carry BC from the US for my two boys, but if they need treatment in HH where would you suggest for competent care? As for me, I carry no med insurance, so the question as it applies to me is where to go for good care that won't break the bank. I'm asking, I guess, for opinions regarding both emergency and non-emergency care. Could be the two call for different medical service providers. Thanks, Suzanne
