Move to make Health Insurance Mandatory - Retirement Visas

[Manforallseasons]

Wrong! Is 600,000 Baht cheap to you? Can get a similar procedure at home for the same or less. You are correct that plastic surgeries are cheaper in Thailand and they are not covered by insurance either in Thailand or home countries (exceptions for accidents).

If you are an expat you should have a health policy for Thailand, if you have something serious happen such as a stroke or heart attack are you going to wait to go to your home country?

I am among the lucky and have health coverage paid by my previous employer. But must pay first and collect later. If I had a serious heart attack or stroke, then I die.
