healthcare and thai wife

liberty9133 · #1 (**permalink**) 1st July 2012, 08:11 PM

Is there any way for the husband of a thai wife to get public health insurance? I have been chatting with a potential wife there. Of course, I don't want to seem crass to her, so I am asking here.

If she is a public servant,you can/will be insured through her health insurance.
It should be a official/legal marriage registered in Thailand and not the so called "Buddhist" marriage

She doesn't work for the government.
