PHUKET: Australian Ambassador to Thailand Allan McKinnon in Phuket yesterday (Mar 26) decorated long-term Phuket expat Wal Brown with an Order of Australia medal for his outstanding service to the community.

 

At a small ceremony held at the Australian Consulate-General in Phuket on the bypass road, Wal Brown, well known for not blowing his own trumpet, said, “It’s such a moment, you don’t expect to be recognised this way.

 

“It is an emotion in you that can’t be described… It’s just a wonderful feeling and a great ending to my day,” he added, his voice starting to creak with emotion.
