My friend is 65 and he has only an AIA accident and life care card for 100000 baht what will he do if he falls ill and need s medical attention and hospital treatment it is a Plan top value card he also as no yellow book or residency letter but as a retirement visa

Does he have the money to pay out of pocket? I've read on TV that the cost / benefit of insurance policies for people 65+ are pretty slim. I'm in pretty good shape now after the implantation of six stents at Bumrungrad and cataract surgery there as well. I have Medicare and Japanese National Health Insurance, neither of which are any good to me here so I instituted a personal health care fund a couple of years ago and try to keep enough cash in it to cover any eventuality such as prostate (or any other organ) surgery, a hip replacement or other unforseen accidents and illnesses. That seems to be the best I can do over here since I'm now 71. If any TVers have any better ideas, please post them.
