Health Insurance when married to a thai national

[NeverFaFer]

I married a thai a decade ago. Can I get the same kind of general health insurance cover that thai people have?

What are the best health insurance companies for a foreigner living in thailand?

Private health insurance.

You could get Social Security if you work in a job that is covered by it.

No, that is not an option.

You must be under 60 to qualify for government employees health insurance

"You must be under 60 to qualify for government employees health insurance"

That's true for Social Security, which is not the same as the government employees insurance.

If you enter the SS system before 60, you can remain in it after turning 60.

The government employees insurance covers the employee, their spouse, their kids and their parents.

Some parents are over 60 when they first enter the system.
