MEDICAL
INSURANCE FOR US CITIZENS:
U.S. medical insurance is
sometimes not valid outside the United States. U.S. Medicare &
Medicaid programs do not provide payment for medical services outside
America. Doctors and hospitals often expect immediate cash payment for
health services. Uninsured travelers who require medical care overseas may
have a problem. Check your insurance company about your policy including
medical evacuation, and for make sure you have plenty of cover. Serious
medical problems requiring hospitalization and evacuation to the United
States can cost thousands of dollars. Make sure payment is made to the
Thai hospital or doctor & reimbursed later for expenses. Some
insurance policies have cover for psychiatric treatment and for
disposition of remains in the event of death. Persons with serious medical
conditions who travel to Thailand may wish to consider insurance that
covers medical evacuation, because costs of the costs.

INSURANCE:
A must to protect your investment
but check around as some Thai companies may vanish overnight.
Check basic covers, fire and theft & the fine print. Although
we don't have any major disasters in Chiangmai some areas are
prone to flooding. Take out a cover note when you settle on the property.
If building a home, ensure you have cover from the day you start
building. We are able to assist you with all your Insurance
& security alarm systems shortly.
Insurance cover:
1/. Replacement cover - reinstates your property to it's former
condition if destroyed, i.e. new for old. Don't confuse
replacement value the price you paid for the property. A home
bought for THB 3,000,000 may cost THB 7,000,000 baht if replaced.
It's cheaper for a builder to build several houses at a time, than
to construct just one fro instance.
2/.Indemnity policy - reinstates or repairs the property &
depreciation is taken into account, i.e. old for old. You only
receive a part of the amount it would require to replace it.
Building Insurance
Premiums vary greatly depending upon the size of your home,
features, location, and construction eg. security system, fences,
keyed locks on all windows and doors? Maintain your home: Check
for loose roof tiles, electrical fittings, plumbing, sewerage
outlets, wiring & lines. Some insurance policies in Thailand
don't cover your properties against "Acts of God", such
as lightning, hail, earthquakes and floods.
Contents Insurance
Coverage is replacement value or cash value. Say your THB 5,000
fridge is destroyed, full replacement ensures a new fridge. Cash
value would only give you the depreciated value, say THB
3,000. But, full replacement policies are dearer than cash value
policies. Contents of a home can be valued at 50% of the
structure's replacement value, e.g. on a THB 2,000,000, contents could
be as high as THB 500,000. Always keep receipts for major
purchases and detailed inventory records for insurance
purposes. Standard content policies in Thailand don't cover you
against burglary and theft of your valuables, e.g. video recorder,
computer, jewelry - for those items you will need a burglary and
robbery (special risks) policy.
Burglary Insurance
For this 'Special Risks' policy you must provide a detailed list
of items. Again keep receipts for major purchases and detailed
inventory records. Our lawyer says even keep a camera record.
Limit small claims and minimize burglaries with more security
measures.
Transit Insurance
You may need 'in transit' insurance cover if moving from one house
to another. Check this out & if possible talk to other
homeowners or us for recommended companies to use.
