If I only had ฿100k savings in the bank, I certainly wouldn't be retiring in a foreign country. ฿1M should be enough for most people, at govt hospital. That would probably pay for emergency by-pass surgery if needed. Anything else, once stabilized, you could fly back to home country, and be a blight on society there
I prefer a larger savings account, since having wife & kid, though kid has employer paid Thai health insurance.
Sadly, I think you are correct, and most here are living month to month. Oh well ... 😎
I love insurance, and the companies I have done business with have all done great by me. That said, they are in the business of collecting premiums, not paying out claims.
I doubt very much it is in Thailand's best interest to add a bunch of old men to there system.
Sure, rich countries like the US, you have no money/assets, it's "free". This is not a rich country.
Apparently there's a company named safety wings that offers competitive prices....
Don't really know if this is true but for those interested in purchasing an insurance, it might be something you'd like to look into.
