Greetings,
I'm semi retired, 59 and about to make the jump to BKK. My goal it to spend a year traveling in SE Asia with Thailand my base, hopefully eventually settling there longer term. I have questions about your health insurance strategy as an expat.
My current US based health insurance has a low deductible and co-pay, with the monthly premium of $850. It's an excellent plan. But will I need it also?
I will be moving to Thailand and want to make sure I am covered adequately. I know most of the little stuff like Doctor visits, meds, dental cleanings and dental work costs are low enough to pay out of pocket. International insurance for the big stuff.
Question: Do you keep your health insurance from your home country and get additional international insurance as well? Do you forgo your US health insurance and only use international insurance?
What is your strategy for having solid health coverage without being over or under insured?
Thanks in advance!
