Yes, I have mid-tier health insurance that covers me for the emergencies, and most things as far as I know, including evacuation.

No, I don't have any health insurance. I'm quite sure I can self-insure if the worst comes to the worst.

Just some figures from an actual case happened to a cousin of my partner in 2024. Had a gastric obstruction while being in Ko Tao. 20K Baht cash for the evacuation to Samui Bangkok Hospital. Needed emergency surgery. The hospital flew in a specialist from HongKong. 3 days ICU, 10 days recovery. Total cost 1.2 Million Baht to be paid upfront before anything beeing done. (Business One Way 2 PAX to Switzerland at 200K Baht not included). So if your insurance is fast, you will have no problem. But in some cases the insurance may take time to check your case..and YOU will have to fork out the money upfront if you want to survive.
