ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
An American married to a Thai citizen for nearly 30 years is inquiring about health insurance requirements in Thailand, especially since their Medicare does not cover medical expenses outside the US. Responses indicate that those holding a NON-O visa, related to their marriage, do not require additional insurance. Users discuss the implications of Medicare coverage in relation to living permanently in Thailand and share advice on whether to maintain or cancel Medicare Part B as they approach retirement age.
