jonwilly Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I understand that for the compulsory insurance for M/cycles B300 and B600 for cars their is a payment of up to maximum B30,000 for any medical costs incurred as result of an accident.. Does anyone have full details of the procedure involved to claim for money spent in hospital. Is it only State hospitals or are private hospitals included ? I have asked 2 frang businessmen and a couple of Thai ladies, one a graduate who speaks perfect English and noone has been able to give a full brief. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing to do is ask the hospital, they may do the claim themselves, they are meant to have a procedure in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pesky Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Yes indeed, thanks Scuba. I hope I never need to use it, but it is very useful to know the procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwilly Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 I have just spoken to Thai friends who run the M/Cycle garage I use. They say B30,000 max cover for accident and you do not need a police report to claim. john 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Any hospital visit / inpatient.. I have claimed on it 4 or more times, in fact the private hospitals handled it all for me once a police report was gathered. The police report WAS needed (by the hospital, the insurer, no idea ??) but the whole thing was handled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nahkit Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 My son-in-law had a motorcycle accident last year and was taken to a private hospital. They told him he was covered up to 30k and handled all the paperwork and also asked him to return the next day with a police report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonwilly Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 30,000 baht coverage is nothing if you pick wrong hospital. Very true, I have always planned to self insure and in the past had been led to understand that the Government Compulsory Insurance was for Thai citizens only and then only at Government hospitals. I came across a Youtube Vlog and it's creator stated that it was applicable to all riders and folk involved in an accident. None of the 3 staff in my condo knew the details, 2 frang businessmen were aware of the insurance but no details, ammount or how to claim. Today I spoke to my Thai friend at his garage and a Thai customer who spoke good English got involved. They told me B30K was max cover, I asked if a police report was needed and they talked in Thai and said no. I will ask other Thai's I know and one friend is trying with a Thai professor from CM Uni if he sees him. Please any genuine comments more than welcome. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macthehat Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I was involved in a motorbike accident last year and was took to a state hospital stayed 2 nights after being patched up by doctors, the por ra bor insurance covered me and they didn't need a police report. The hospital sorted it all out and all they needed was a signature . I'm near sure the bill was 19000b . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwilly Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) Thanks for you info Mac. This is what my Thai friends say, but I did wonder if it was one rule for Thais and another for Frangs. john Edited January 23, 2020 by jonwilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
