medical insurance

Post by mozzy »

I live in the UK and am looking to move to Hua Hin early next year. Should I try to get private medical insurance here to cover me or wait until Im in Hua Hin? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm no expert on these matters, but I would reckon that "back home" might be better. Probably more expensive though.
The hard reality is that although Thailand is a relatively cheap country to live in, you don't want to get ill or have an accident. That can prove very expensive.

You are being a little modest there lomuamart aren’t you?
You know very well we are both walking disasters

Some good advice is not to go to San Paulo unless you want breast enlargement or liposuction

As far as standard A & E or general medical care they are USELESS
