If you are not in the country and want info about what is required it is best to check with the embassy that will be issuing your certificate of entry (COE).

I have been going to the embassy website but the info is confusing and has not been updated for a long while.

Any updates on getting a visa after vaccination and possibly quarantine?

Has anyone had recent experience getting an Australian visitor visa?

Have not seen my TGF in over a year and I am thinking of helping her get a visa now so that she can travel here in Sydney once the international borders open up again.

Any updates on wether Immi are processing visitor visas?

Thanks for the info.

I thought Thai Airways was totally grounded because they went bust?

Will look at their website now.

Which airlines are the best option in the near future for flying between Sydney and Thailand?

Thought I could fly direct to Phuket and quarantine there for two weeks if required.

@aut031 had some good tips. Might need to go via Singapore.

Guess it depends how the current covid outbreak is contained. I'm thinking it will get easier in March when the vaccine is available in Australia.

Qantas are saying their international routes will open again in June so it sounds like things are heading in the right direction.

I understand I'll have to pay for quarantine and top dollar for for plane tickets.

Just asking here to get an idea if it's possible and what the procedure it. From the thai embassy website it seems ok, although the quarantine requirements seem to keep changing

That's the next problem, getting out of Oz.

If someone else has done it I'l know it's possible.

I'm keen to get back to Thailand for an extended holiday and have not been there since mid-2018.

Has anyone from Australia visited Thailand in the past couple of months and if so how did you manage it?

Thanks

5G scares me. Reminds me of involuntarily sticking your head in a microwave and there's nowhere to run to get away from it. Why not use more fibre cable and stick with 4G which has a longer range?

120 years ago people said the same thing about electricity.

There are no health risks of 5G.

Chinese are much cheaper than poor farangs.

Others recommend MyThaiVisa ?

When international flights to Thailand resume will a covid19 test be required before or after the flight?

Thai economic development has stalled. It is not longer an "Asian Tiger", more a floor rub.

Thai economic statistics are false. In reality the Thai economy is very weak with much higher unemployment than is being reported, so people are hanging onto their money.

It's always good being able to buy a cold beer from a convenience store on a hot day.

Definitely a rat snake I've seen a few around, not a bad thing to keep rodents down.

It's impossible to get rid of bed bugs, especially in the tropics.

Some time ago I started dating a pretty 34yo Thai girl in Melbourne.

She was here on a Student Visa and seemed like a nice middle-class girl, although she worked in (non-sexual) Massage shops was well educated and from a good family I thought

Started off fine at first and was a lot of fun, although after a while she would be "too busy with work" and I wouldn't see her for a couple of weeks.

Then one night she left her phone in the console of my car when she ran into a shop. I noticed messages from a guy and then found messages from at least three other guys who also appeared to be dating her as well. I never said anything, but when the sex dried up I just deleted her details and never spoke with her again.

It's been playing on my mind for a couple of years. Always thought the Thais were modest about sex and relationship.

Does this sound like typical behavior for Thai girls, either in Thailand or overseas?

Would be interested to hear the experiences of others.
