Otherwise you wouldn't be against a widely common way of insurance. Where would this op take place?,a for profit private hospital no less,its those blood sucking locusts that have created this problem, was,not for them no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, when you come to Thailand you wouldn't need it?? Though the risk of road accidents is 10 times higher than in EU, even more. So why it is in your mind to throw yourself and your family in such a financial desaster? Of course you are free to find a better insurence than the offered one. The govt insurance might be the right start to give protection. I think you didn’t understand, I’m not against insurance, I never come her without one. I’m against the new rule at least as it has been presented. But you should know that since I told you before.

In #55 you said you came always to Thailand with a health insurance. So what? If you present this insurance to immigration showing the requested cover then you fulfill requirements. So what is your point if not filling pages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time for this unneeded topic to be closed since there are 3 or 4 topics on page one of the Thailand news forum running. The discussion can be continued on one of them.
