However as with any Expat destination, there are risks which can not be overlooked. For this reason, health insurance Phuket is essential when traveling to Phuket to lead an Expat life.

Phuket has some excellent private hospitals which are set up to deal with Expats. These hospitals can be very expensive for inpatient expenses, making health insurance the perfect way of managing these potential costs during your stay as an Expat in Phuket. Please see a list of commonly used hospitals at the bottom of this page. When choosing a health insurance provider, its crucial that their direct billing network includes your hospital of choice.

People often fall into the trap of using hospitals on an outpatient basis and thinking that they are cheap, only be be stung with huge bills later down the line if they are admitted for serious health issues. At Seek2Insure we think it’s important you are adequately protected against the worst case scenarios. For this reason, we only work with well vetted health insurance providers who offer plans with adequate levels of protection.

Having adequate health insurance in place is essential if you plan on using a motorbike. Furthermore, people partaking in activities such as scuba diving and surfing are at risk, should they get involved in an accident. Phuket news outlets frequently report on stories of uninsured Expat’s who get into financial difficulty as a result of not having adequate health insurance in place, and are subsequently involved in an accident or fall sick.
