Insurance cannot be denied cannot procrastinate too

Thank you. I am married to a Thai citizen, married 25 years. We live in the USA. Retirement is in the future, so I'm planning now. Spent countless times watching subjective highlights of KZread videos that provide no meat-on-the-bone usable information. This is where you shine; videos like this one. I do enjoy your fun videos, but having a well-thought-out, put-into-practice sustainable things to think about is critical to success in planning on retirement in Thailand. Kudos!

Very thorough analysis of what admittedly is not the most exciting topic in the world. Combined with Randy's other videos, you should have a pretty good idea of what things cost and what kind of budget you will need. Certainly, these videos save a lot of time since they do a lot of the research you'd have to do yourself. Bravo, Randy!

Thank you Randy for your very thorough and detailed video on health coverage. I know this as I was a health agent at one time. For three years I've been watching similar videos on living in Mexico, Costa Rica, Spain, Portugal and Bali. Your videos are easily the most comprehensive and pleasant to watch. I am 71 years old, so I better get over to Thailand and get good coverage before I turn 80, so that I can be covered right up until age 99. 😂 Wishing you and your girlfriend good health.

Wow, what a nice comment coming from someone who was a healthcare agent. Big thanks. I actually have some more videos planned on related issues so I hope they are a well-received as this one has been. Sounds like you have a lot of fun choices... hmmm Bali? Spain? Portugal?... Maybe Thailand too?... Lots of cool places. Best wishes and say hello if you make it to Chiang Mai.

I appreciate a channel for more mature men planning on retiring to Thailand. Although I will not be retiring early for 5 more years (58 years old now). I will retire early at age 63 and my full social security will not start until 67. I will be bringing $400,000 USD to Thailand and predict on spending half of it until my social security starts. I have been to Thailand 4 times in the last 2 years and it is my #1 country for me to want to reside. I still have to consider whether to buy a condo or rent after being there for 6 to 12 months. I hope you have a video that can get me to lean one way or another. My monthly will only be $2,300 USD a month, but it makes me very happy that I can live very comfortable with my cash and pension for the rest of my life in Thailand.

@RetiredGlobalLife

First off, you are smart to say you will wait until you have been in Thailand for 6-12 months to buy or rent long term. It takes a while to chose what region in a city you like. Most expats rent, not buy, simply because it is so, so cheap. Buying is cheap compared to many parts of the world, but relatively, rent is less relative to the property value. Plus some condos have high monthly fees, and the nicer ones can turn into giant AirB&Bs, not really a community feel. So renting gives flexibility to move, and keeps your $ free.

Hi Ronnie best to rent better than buying from Scott new Zealand

Thank you Randy for this informative video. I was very upset when I researched insurance on my own. The prices I found were outrageous, which led me to believe I could not afford to live inThailand, hence my dream became a nightmare. Luckily you made this video and restored my dream..THANK YOU!!

I hope you get a good quote. The insurance company will give you an "offer letter" clearly outlining coverage, such as what pre-existing conditions are excluded, etc, so you know where you stand. Best wishes!

I watched other videos on the visa requirements. But, this was the first to point out the insurance requirement and the deductible catch. Others are talking up the fact that they are so cheap. But missed the simple truth of "what if i actually need to use it"? Really eye opening. Instant sub from me. And I've already shared it with a friend. I haven't even gotten to the end yet.

Thank you for the best coverage in costs anywhere I have found on KZread in particular unraveling the mystery of health insurance. You mentioned you shared your time between the US and Thailand.

@RetiredGlobalLife

9 ай бұрын

Don't copy me because I am not a good example. I go back anf forth about every two months. So I go on the visa exemption for the auto 30 days then extend 30 days in country. So no 90 day reporting for me. It works for me but who knows, in theory one day I could be denied entry, but since I am out of the country 2 months and clearly not doing border runs and leaving for 2 days only to come back, and because I'm in my age group - no a backpacker - I think I'm seen as a financial boon. Soon though my time in Thailand will tip past 50% and I'll go with the non-O or non-OA.

Maybe not the most exciting topic but imperative when it comes to considering spending a good portion of time in another country as an older retired person! So thank you for this thorough explanation! It sounds like "pre-existing conditions" do not get you excluded from coverage as is so often the case here in the US! As older folks we often/usually have some (diabetes, high blood pressure, history of cancer, HIV, etc). Looking at your breakdown at the end it sounds like two people could live pretty well and stay well-insured for ~$2000 per month including all expenses! That's definitely a lot better than the US, even if we dropped everything to the "Low" category!

Thanks. Yes and no. You can have a good quality life here for less than the US, yes, but I didn't mean to imply there is no issue with pre-existing conditions. That is even a bigger problem here than in the US, so still an issue.

Very kind of you, Lyn. Thanks!

Great info on Health Insurance - I pay B9500 a month here in Australia for middle of the road care. I will be able to halve that in Thailand! Thanks.

Thanks. When you come find a good agent. They will direct you to a quality insurer. Yes, policies here are cheaper due to the medical costs themselves being so much cheaper. Take care.
