Should I Buy Health Insurance during My Stay?

If you decide to retire in Thailand, here is some information you may consider when deciding whether to buy health insurance in Thailand after retirement:

1. Healthcare costs in Thailand: Healthcare in Thailand can be affordable compared to other countries since there is Universal Healthcare System known by the Thais as "30 Baht cures all [diseases]" for citizens, but costs can still add up, especially for serious illnesses or procedures.

2. Coverage: Thailand has a universal healthcare system, but coverage may be limited and additional insurance can help cover costs that are not covered by the public system.

3. Personal needs and circumstances: Consider your personal health, financial situation, and the type of healthcare you may need in the future when deciding whether to purchase additional insurance.

4. Availability: There are private health insurance companies that offer policies to ex-pats and retirees in Thailand. It's important to research and compares different options to find the best fit for your needs.

It's ultimately up to you to decide whether health insurance is necessary based on your individual circumstances and needs.
