If you're an expatriate, you should consider that relying on inadequate local government run medical facilities may cost you your health, whilst paying for private medical treatment may cost you your livelihood! There are many providers of international health plans covering Thailand and throughout Southeast Asia.

PPI has recently conducted a review of its business relationships in this respect resulting in a comprehensive and competitively priced range of international health plans from four different providers that will enable you to afford the best treatment available throughout Southeast Asia and beyond. These plans may also include the provision for worldwide travel cover and personal accident insurance if required. A summary of each medical insurance provider recommended by PPI is given below with website links for further information.
