So... Thai medical insurance?

Can anybody recommend a good policy that would cover Speccy Brace Face and and the wee one?...

Spoke to a Thai friend of a friend who sells insurance a while back and she was showing some policy through AIA which would cost over 20,000 baht for the year... All the paperwork was in Thai and the promise of emailing the policy in English has so far come to nothing...

What company do you use for your family and at what cost per year for decent medical coverage?...

I don't need a family policy as I've already got some BUPA coverage (which I've been told isn't that good but I'll take my chances with them for now)... Also we are not married so not sure any family package would be allowed...

Just want something that she can take out for her and the baby...

Thanks in advance...

Pattaya expats club advertises some competitive, bulk policies. Check with them?
You can google their web site.

I have BUPA emerald for my wife and 2 kids

I had AMEX insurance. Costs more than BUPA but was a lot better for expats.

You will have to speak to the them and see what they say about covering a Thai in Thailand and your kid.

Hmmmm...

Thanks guys but I was thinking there might be some Thai companies doing decent medical insurance for Thais...

Sabang - checked out the Pattaya Expats site and that looked like a standard policy geared towards farang...

Looks like I'll have to do a search of Thai Visa... Never posted there before for fear of getting banned but it's sometimes useful for info about serious stuff and shit...

I could be wrong but didn't HillBilly say his wife had something to do with health insurance, could try a PM?
