In this video, I talk with Brian Jacks and David Mills at the View Dee Apartments about the importance of accident insurance when living in Pattaya, Thailand. Whether you live in Bangkok, Pattaya or Jomtien, you do need to think about how you will manage in the event of an accident.
Pattaya in Thailand is a haven for expats. However, unforeseen accidents can happen anytime, anywhere. This is why having reliable accident insurance is more than just a financial safeguard.
Brian Jacks explains how he needed to make a claim on his insurance after a minor accident. There are many options available, including monthly payment plans.

The point is you can't afford to not have insurance. If you think you can't afford insurance then you are a person who needs it.

@BigBoaby-sg1yo 3 месяца назад

Any insurance company will take your policy money from you . But if you need it , sometimes they will not pay out . You must declare any past history ,your medical history will be pulled up and may result in non payment . Best way is to keep healthy and get 6 monthly blood works so you see what may need to be addressed

@gorgeousthailand4748 7 месяцев назад

Too many issues with medical insurance, the biggest one is declaring all previous medical treatments and when, virtually impossible without access to your medical records, insurance is a business, they are in it to make money, if they can get out of paying a claim, they will, simple as that, this is the main reason why people self insure and use government hospitals.

@rayn3038 Месяц назад

Exactly....been paying my old insurance for two years in Asia and when i put in a claim from a hospital in Bangkok..they did not accept the format of the bills...paid me nothing and i pay 165 us $ a month...cancelling it in october...the truth is most of us a bankrupted by catastrophic illness in the end...so i have given away 2/3s of my savings...i find my generation humourous and immature compared to my grandfathers generation...growing old...you should grow up and be useful to the end...my legacy will not be 30 years of playing Golf and Drinks with the Boys in Thailand...self serving indulgence...permanent vacation...we are likely the last generation to see retirement

Dave, is it true that less than a quarter of Insurance claims ever get paid out worldwide. I also read something about being injured or taken ill, whilst under the influence of alcohol in Thailand is an obstacle with insurance claims too.

1/. I looked after a US friend who had cancer in ChiangMai. I admitted him into ChiangMai Ram Hospital & the cost was well over 200,000baht. The bill was per injection, per bottle of water etc once admitted & he had no insurance. 2/. Had a Kiwi friend who looked after a UK guy who died in ChiangMai hopitak. The UK guy left a Thai wife & kid but had no money & no insurance. The hospital tried to get my friend to pay the bills as the Uk guy made him executor in his will & my friend didnt even know??. Lucky for him he contacted the uk guy's son who ended up paying the hospital/death bills.... So be careful being an executor....? 3/. Another US friend I had in Pattaya was a multi-multi millionaire--money wasnt an option. Had to get a minor cancer growth out & op. I asked him where --he said Bangkok-Pattaya -Hospital. I asked him why he didnt go to Bumrungrad & get his your own specialist in?? He passed on it---- well he had the op--came out OK---a day later got Pneumonia & died??? 4/. Lastly talking about showers. Ron a US expat in ChiangMai owned the ChiangMai Saloon Bars x2. He slipped in his shower & died..... so be careful on those marble floors...... & have insurance---its s must as Ive seen so many foreigners come off bikes with no lids; no insurance & cant pay the hospitals let alone their return fare.......keep on trucking out there......

How do locals on 10/15000B a month pay for hospitals? Are they on free healthcare? Those hospital fees sound abhorrent. Don't have a need for a hospital in thailand I guess.

There is a basic healthcare for Thai people. Bang Lamung Hospital is mainly for Thais and treatment is very cheap there.

1,500 is reasonable, but these policies don't have unlimited cover. AIA quoted me 1,000 a year at age 60 for a maximum 400,000 baht payout. Plus, the premium goes up 30% every 5 years.

I assume at some point my Pension will stop or be Cut...they are telling my Son that he may not get one at all. So i donot get too giddy about Paradise...your Welcome as long as you have a pocket full of baht.
