Okay. Here's the big one... the question everyone's parents keep asking again and again. Will you be safe and covered in Thailand? The answer is yes and no. We do receive some health insurance over here, but it's not full coverage. This past year, one of the Baylor students had his appendix removed in Bangkok. Our health care covered part of the cost, and but his American insurance had to pick up the rest. I would suggest coupling your Thai insurance with traveler's insurance.
That being said... When you get sick where do you go?
I highly recommend
Samitivej Hospital, Located on Sukhumvit 49 (Phrom Pong or Thong Lor stop on the BTS). It's one of the best private hospitals in Bangkok- it's absolutely pristine. They have an entire floor for foreigners where all the staff speak English. Everyone I know who's gone here has received excellent care.
