Hi all

 

My girlfiend recently enquired about the possibility of establishing coverage for her.

 

Most of the links on the above refer to coverage for Expats only.

 

I would appreciate any details as she has been nagging me for some time now.

 

Many thanks

for what do the Thais need a health insurance??

they have Mr. Taksin's great 30 Baht scheme! they can get any treatment for 30 Baht, even a hearttransplantation...probably the heart of a chicken, which was eaten in the hospital's cantine! :neener:

Trouble with the 30 baht and "Social Security" is they a hospital or site specific.

 

For example my wife has a 30 baht card, but is registered to live in Isaan. She cant take that to bangkok.

 

Social Security is great for thai's, or even farangs.

 

I have it, costs about 1500 baht a month (1/2 1/2 between the business and the employee)

 

Again though you "Nominate" the hospital. Go anywhere else and you pay full price, or go to a government hospital, somne things cheap some not.

 

Health insurance though will cover you most places in Thailand.

 

BUPA has levels suitable for thais.
