The good news
Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, and several other cities have strong private hospitals used to international patients. Pharmacies are capable for simple needs. For complex care, people often plan around Bangkok.
Insurance
Travel insurance is not health insurance. Long-stay readers need to know waiting periods, evacuation, and whether a policy works at the hospital they want. Thai social security is for people who are properly employed in the system.
Notes to expand
- Keep a hospital pin in your phone
- Dengue is real; use repellent
- Dentists and checkups are often excellent value
- Update with partner hospital names later
