The Australian Government has Repatriation Flights nearly if not every Sunday in August from Bangkok to Sydney. Two weeks quarantine, then you can travel to home state. I belatedly registered my name and details with the Australian Embassy about 4 weeks ago. I stated I was not interested in flying home. I have a retirement visa here now. They send me emails with updates. I will attach a photo of the last email. One way ticket $1100 to Sydney. Contact the Embassy for all the finer details of quarantine and costs etc. Cheers

James Charlesworth -- I agree 100%__ I understand frustrations and uncertainties for everyone. Including myself! But I keep seeing some of the same names, and some new ones posting and popping up with either snide,unhelpful, unfair, derogatory, divisive, comments over and over and also some of the same people in different facebook groups as well. Please chill. Nothing good or constructive to say!!!! Please think and do not bother posting it! My personal thanks to all who continue to answer genuine questions and sooth worried minds ( sometimes repeatedly the same questions). Stay safe everyone. Cheers Mark

Western Union, Torfx- min transfer $200, World First- min transfer $2000-- both the latter have Australian Branches- upon registration and account creation you get a dedicated Case Manager with an Australian location and phone number. I have used Western Union extensively over the last 7 years. However I am waiting on my retirement visa and living in Thailand now. I now use World First. Exchange rate always competitive. No fees at all. If a one off and no time to set up accounts etc- I recommend Western Union using a debit card bypassing any aussie bank charges. Western Union fees to a Thai Bank Account is only $2.50 from memory. Their fees for a cash pickup can be more expensive depending on amount sent and when sent etc. Good Luck with who ever you use
