has anyone compiled a list of health insurance for thailand ?

with rates and general exclusions etc

or like a FAQ for common questions ....

from reading here i see a range of $700 to $3500/ year

In addition to the Thai Government plan for which I qualify as I have obtained a Ta Bian Ban (yellow book), I carry two private health plans:

1. The VIP policy from the Thai Life Insurance Company; it is a basic plan with low maximum limits that combines the most common forms of health/accident insurance with a life insurance policy. Cost – approximately $800 U.S. per year.

2. A major medical policy from Pacific Cross that has a high deductable but also high maximum limits to cover anything that my first policy does not. Cost – approximately $1,500 U.S. per year.

3. I use the Thai Government plan to obtain inexpensive prescriptions filled at Thai Government hospitals. I wouldn't touch the doctors at most government hospitals with a 10 foot pole. They are basically medics who fix cuts, sprains and broken bones. There are of course exceptions.

Hope this helps.

Yes, if you have a yellow book you qualify as if you were a thai. Just go to your hospital with your wife and yellow book and within 30 minutes you will get your health card.

Thank you very much

By sure it is going to help
