" I have my two kids and my partners mum and dad covered with bupa, not the best and certainly not the worst covers for 55k for the year, they even gave us the option to pay in installments per month."


Good info exactly what i need Posted Image  minus mum and dad Posted Image ...cheers
How did you set this up via internet or Bhuppra offices in phuket or do they come to your house  as some companies do ???

Is that 55k for the whole family or per individual?

That was the total price for my two kids (5 and 3) and my in laws (mid 50's). The in laws Package also included accidental death cover of 400k, and I think my partners mum had an additional cancer cover too, although I can,t quite remember.

There are many different packages, which the company I went with we're very helpful in helping us pick.

I was put onto them and visited there offices near the big tesco lotus. Very helpful and ran by a couple of farrang expats who are also fluent in written and spoken Thai. They went through ALL possible options with us with multiple companies and we settled on Bupa. Am on my I-pad at the 'mo, will PM the contact details when I'm back on my computer.

Am in nai harn, and the value of our property is much less. Am fairly young and get paid well so have chosen the high payment shorter term option.

Did you do the overseas financing bit? Most everyone that I know just pays cash as getting a loan for a foreigner is difficult these days, even if the land is in the Mrs. or company name.

No, got a good finance deal from the bank (scb) just before the crash a few years ago. Not bad considering at the time I didn't have a work permit was not married and my partner didn't work.

I have also noticed that a higher number of private developers are offering there own finance packages for foreign buyers, some interest free for upto 5-7 years

Runs about 50k a year for a 60 year old. I think you need to have it if your country doesn't have a medical program you can return to if you have to (like the US). Bupa won't let you sign up if your over 59. There are alternatives.
That sounds like the platinum plan = 2 million baht cover. There are cheaper plans with less cover value. I think you can sign up after 59 but but cover stops at 65 if you where 60 when signing up age, if 59 when start they insure for life. There are no claims discounts on offer in following years.
Yes, there are way too many variables to answer the OP's question here. He needs a good insurance agent to sort this out for him.

I have my two kids and my partners mum and dad covered with bupa, not the best and certainly not the worst covers for 55k for the year, they even gave us the option to pay in installments per month.
