Hello, I am an Australian expat and have lived in Thailand last 10 years. I need to visit Australia soon for family health reasons. On my last visit I found out I had been "kicked out" of Medicare due to being outside Australia for more than 5 years. I need to re-apply if I go back including proving I have left Thailand like closed bank accounts, rental lease terminations, etc. So I am looking for travel insurance for travel to Australia, mainly to cover me for any medical emergencies. Most policies I have looked at are for travel from Australia, even Thai companies. So has anyone had experience and who di they buy from?

I love plant based meats - from a meat packing plant. -
Looks like more and more adverts on the way.

Thai woman sparks backlash for vaping on Chiang Rai flight (video)

Not bad considering today is April 10. -
I never went to the bar areas but had friends I had met on the internet. Even though catholic they were much more willing and less inhibited. But never asked for money for the deed. But did ask next day for money for food, etc.

Off topic and on topic sort of. Anyone know of any filipino communities or groups in Chiang Mai? Lived Thailand 10 years and only been to Filli a few short times but I found Pinay to be very nice.

Strange number on my phone on a call from Australia.

Don't know what she dialled. We ended up having a Microsoft Teams message. -
Strange number on my phone on a call from Australia.
Dazinoz replied to Dazinoz's topic in General Topics
Oh ok, I only looked up +69. Explains more but she did try 3 times. -
A few days ago I was expecting a call from Australia. At about the expected time my phone rang but when I looked at the number it seemed strange. Normally I would not have answer, however I did but there was no one there. A short time later I received an email from the person trying to call saying she had tried to call 3 times but I had only received 1. The number was +6970500000000. When I looked up country code on Google I got "69 is the special area code dedicated for the Ministry of Defence (Vietnam) and the Ministry of Public Security (Vietnam).”

What devices are best for constant dog attacks?
Dazinoz replied to NONG CHOK's topic in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand
I bought a couple of small cattle prods in Oz before I left for this reason. These were designed for small cattle. They are about the size of a torch. Tried it out on one dog in Oz and when ever it saw me after that it ran away. A couple chances to use here I didn't have it with me. Use to see a dog regularly around the bar area here in CM and sometimes gave it food and seemed ok and I never threatened him. One night I was heading to the area down a back soi. He was lying under a bush. He looked up as I walked past. I saw out the corner of my eye as I did pass he got up and started following me., thought nothing of it. Next thing, ouch, bit me on the back of the leg, drew blood. A course of Rabies injections followed but could not get the dog to pay for them. -
Sorry to go off topic but reminds me of a joke. Why cant Miss Piggy count to 70? After 69 she gets a frog in her throat.

Laughing gas balloons burst bubble: Police bar raid in Chiang Mai

Been to the bar in the photo many times as an ex works there. She hits the balloons very hard. I tried it once, just gave me a headache. -
Begging for money online to support his bar.
Dazinoz replied to n00dle's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Yep, saw his vids. Often go past the bar and usually not too many people in it. As the name suggests it is the last bar in a line of bars and I think most patrons get hijacked before they reach there. -
Medical oxygen cylinder- safe to leave in a hot car?
Dazinoz replied to poppysdad's topic in Health and Medicine
I would be a little wary of using a welding O2 tank. Yes its the same oxygen but breathing tanks are purged and refilled and the oxygen tested, welding tanks are not as they are not intended fro human consumption.Just a thought. -
13 Nabbed In Raid On Khao San Road Shops Selling Laughing Gas Balloons
Dazinoz replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Blatantly sold from a bar in the Loi Kroh area of Chiang Mai and customers come from other bars to buy the balloons and take back to their waterhole. I tried it once, just gave me a headache. A friend of mine who works at the bar who sells them has at least 4 large balloons everynight costing 100 baht each. Some nights more drunk on the balloons. Combined with alcohol not good. But she did learn lesson the other night. Caught riding motorbike drunk. Cost her several hours in a cell, a trip to the courts and 9500 fines. -
TikTok user exposes taxi overcharge in Bangkok, fare hits 105 baht (video)
Dazinoz replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Reminds me of a joke. What is the difference between a catfish and a lawyer? One is a bottom dwelling scum sucking scavenger and the other is just a fish. -
Think I have met that guy in CM. Told me he is an ex Navy Seal, an ex 747 captain, plus more. I felt so privileged to meet him.

Never blamed Thaipost for anything. Just asked if anyone had similar experience.
-
UPDATE: Arrived at destination today 4th Jan. So it looks like my assumption of Thaipost tracking was correct in that "delivered" meant was delivered to Australia Post then another 12 days to get to delivery address with no further update on Thaipost tracking.

And cheaper.
