Long term Health Insurance in Thailand?

What about health insurance long term in Thailand?

Home   All Advice

We all know about the travel insurance you need to get your Thailand Pass and to enter Thailand.

But what about insurance now that you've settled into the Kingdom long term?

You might have watched a couple of our videos and even experienced the world class Thai health care system. But even though the care is good, public hospitals can be quite crowded. And private hospitals, even though much less cost that in the west, can still be fairly expensive depending on the procedures.

The problem is even more acute for older retirees who need to have some kind of insurance. Many companies will not offer policies to those over 80 years old.

But believe it or not, If you are working in Thailand (or in some cases own a business), you actually can get social security and access to the free or low cost health insurance that is avalable to all Thai citizens.

For everyone else, it is prudent to get some health insurance while you are living in Thailand. It's important to get a quote, since the cost of insurance will depend on your age, requirements and state of health. 

Policies are actually available for almost any age.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
"I just want to share with others whom are considering using them, that BaanSmile is an excellent service. They helped me with my STV visa. They helped me every step of the way. This was during a time where it was quite complex getting any visa in Thailand. During the application process, they were excellent especially regarding answering emails quickly and clearly. If there were any issues regarding the requirements I provided, they would inform me and help correct the issue. They had what seemed to be a perfectionist approach. It was very comforting. Everything went really well and it was hassle free. I also had them help me with my subsequent 90 day extension/report. That also went very well and hassle free. There’s no way I could have managed doing all of these processes on my own this smoothly. I’m very grateful and I continue to use there service till this day for my visa purposes in Thailand. I highly recommend them."
