TLDR : Answer Summary
The question seeks guidance on obtaining travel insurance for a Thai person visiting Australia on a holiday visa and whether insurance is mandatory for entry. Comments suggest checking with Australian travel groups for local providers, and include recommendations for specific companies like Medibank, Allianz, and HCF. Some commenters clarify that while travel insurance is not a strict requirement for all travelers, it is advisable and often beneficial.

Use an Australian company ONLY, as you have better legal protections and recourse if anything goes wrong with a claim - use HCF overseas visitors cover etc

Have a look on Mr Prakan for all your Thailand insurance requirements

You can compare policies and prices in it from the leading providers

Perhaps best to ask in an Australian based travel group.
