Healthcare & insurance

Hospitals, international coverage and accessing care.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ For Americans

Medicare does not cover care in Thailand. Look at international expat plans rather than domestic US policies.

Private hospitals

Bumrungrad, Samitivej, BNH and Bangkok Hospital are internationally accredited with English-speaking staff and are a common choice for expats.

Insurance

Choose international health insurance that covers inpatient care in Thailand and medical evacuation. Some visas require minimum cover.

Pharmacies

Pharmacies are everywhere and many medicines are available over the counter. Bring a doctor's letter for ongoing prescriptions.
