It will soon have a 300b ‘tourist tax’ payment form at the end

5 seconds to remove glasses vs 1 minute the manual way, more if you have a more complex passport to process

It's gone, mentally write it off and report it stolen. It was stolen for a reason. Never trust Hostels.

Not Hanoi either, the reviews are razor accurate

No, they intentionally make it very hard to break and do not have a clear 180 day rule.

Even if you live in Thailand 365 days a year living in a Condo you bought, if you merely think Australia is still your home, you're still a tax resident. The battle and onus is proving your not.

I recommend keeping an Australian licence valid, an Aussi phone number and Australian bank accounts ope. On your tax return say you are still an Australian tax resident

Its a real pain to to meet their tests, ie have you taken yourself off the electoral role, closed bank accounts, sold all your assets in Aus etc

Ais, go to a physical store with your passport. They should have an English letter of all the plans and are often cheaper than online

No problem. Just trying to clear up some misconceptions.

The pressures and discomfort on the ears is a good point I dont have any answers on.

Some animals were lightly sedated with a xanax like medication for anxiety. Most were not was my understanding and that it required extra steps.

Our A320’s had cargo hold heaters. ~23c sounds about right for a cabin temp.

The 787 was even more advanced and had multiple zones including a specific hold that could even be turned into a fridge for perishables. Certainly not a design afterthought!

More likely a small turboprop would be noiser, bumpier and have a less sophisticated heating system such as the cabin air vents you mention.

The level of pressurisation you experience would be about the same between turbo props and airliners (8000ft) regardless of how high the plane actually flys. The latest long haul 787/a350’s are pressurised to an even lower altitude (6000ft) which might be a consideration to what airline you choose compared to an older a.
