khunPer Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 You may need to cover yourself by a PA (Personal Accident insurance) or travel insurance, in Thailand you never know unless public transport company, don't depend on the carrier have one.

mca Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 It's with AXA. Their smartcare prime 2 plan 4. Had a couple of claims in the past with me being a clumsy bugger. Never a problem and I didn't pay a penny in private hospital. As much morphine as I could handle! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some companies offers a senior PA, Bangkok Bank for example have one up to 100 years of age (PA 1st Senior Plan), costs from about 2,000 to 5,000 baht/year depending of coverage. Kasikorn Bank may also have one. SCB changed in theirs, so they have separate PA for foreigner that is a bit more up-price, but also with higer benefits. However, most Thai PAs don't cover much for medical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mca Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Like i said i pay 9000 baht a year the same as my Thai family. Remember this isn't health insurance its personal accident insurance. The policy prices and coverage are on website. Axa are a huge international company. Nothing dodgy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
