You are so wound up about things. Take a breath and calm down. Dee Money transfers money out of Thailand to your home country, online via the Dee Money app, once you are registered. I believe transfers are suspended to the UK and US at the moment whilst they change there transaction partner. But once sorted out that is your best option for a flat fee of 150 baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusarelus Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 9 hours ago, rainwater said: No! You're Wrong: Thai medical insurance companies DO NOT offer cover for pre existing conditions, they will lie to you and say what they need to get you to sign up with them but then they will refuse your claim. Their handbooks on rules and regulations are 2 inches thick and you need a lawyer to help translate and read the regulations, in the end you will be stuck paying the claim if they say it's related to a pre existing condition and they will research and get your records from every hospital in the area and where ever you have lived in Thailand to avoid payment. Don't be fooled by these criminals posing as legit insurance companies. I have lived in Thailand for 20 years. You have an opinion. Get a good agent and ask.

I've lived in Thailand 12 years and talked to multiple agents/liars there is NO PRE EXISTING COVER by any Thai medial insurance company. You haven't a clue and don't care if you live 100 years in Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to say I'm wound up about things, I've had a stroke 2 years ago and will be forced to buy useless medical insurance because Thai insurance doesn't cover pre existing conditions or I will be totally denied (Thai insurance is not anything like the NHS in the UK or any Socialized medicine from Germany and most civilized European countries, Australia or NZ) so take a walk in my shoes, take a breath and calm down yourself.

Don't think Thai immigration accepts Crypto for retirement visa proof of funds, but there are 4 Crypto exchanges approved in Thailand. Last time I checked in late 2018 the liquidity was very low and very high spreads and commissions. Recently a month ago I tried and could not access Coinbase from my ISP blocked by Thailand, but today it looks like I might be able to open an account when I just looked? But I'm very new to this Crypto crap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
