Since I don't know all the insurance in all your countries, I cannot say much about what company to choose from. The health system in Thailand is very good, international standartisized Hospitals all over the places in Bangkok, Phuket & Pattaya. In Krabi area there is just one to be build.

This health services are not cheap of course, so make sure you have a "world wide, valid health insurance if you want to stay in Thailand.
Ordinary Travel Insurance are usually cheap, but pay only for vacations up to 6 weeks or so.

The only Insurance Companies with world wide coverage I know about are:

BUPA International (UK) (website)
Allianz World Wide Care (website)
HealthCare International (website)

BUPA is valid for up to 3 Years and need to be extended (or not) while the Allianz can be used for long term. Please refer to their websites for any detailed information.

If you know about any other Insurance that offer worldwide coverage also for people from other countries please contact me, and I will place it here.
