I suspect they will allow you to purchase it, just you wont be able to claim on it.. 

 

That seems to fit the Thai model of service interactions perfectly.. 

I have had bkk bank insurance for 14 years yesterday I paid my yearly payment and the lady told me I pay next year and get my bonus money back straight away and not wait until the end. So it does work. ...Sometimes 555

The bangkok bank insurance is pretty poor, look what it covers, it won't be enough for compulsory health insurance

If it becomes mandatory,it will have to be a Government run thing,

IF the Government really want Expats to retire here,as it will be nearly

impossible to get coverage from private providers,due to age,pre conditions,

and very high costs.

Twice in the past the Government has given health coverage to Expats here,

first time,Thaksin introduced it,it was free if you had a Yellow book,had 2+

years coverage on that ,until it was cancelled,as it was a Thaksin thing.!

next was a few years ago,it cost 2,500 THB to join,run by an unknown

insurer,Government approved, lasted few weeks,was reimbursed 1,200 THB

if i remember correctly.So maybe 3rd time lucky,or many will have to pack

their bags,

Maybe there could be an exception of the rule. Anybody who has no health insurance must have a million baht cash in a special account which will be available in case he/she needs the money for health issues.

 

 

Or..... keep 400K in a bank account ??

They can't? or they don't want pay? :unsure:

Many rather cheap Thai insurances accepting nearly everyone,

by example https://www.viriyah.co.th/en/longstay-form.php#.XFud1nduJhE

Don't bother looking folks. It is only available for 5 year long stay visa holders.
