yes your insurance will have to include motorcycles but you will also have to have a motorcycle licence in your home country and motorcycle license stamped onto your international license, just a drivers license will not be enough. No motorcycle license no insurance and in Thailand you are mental to risk it.
as mentioned we have a housing and rental crisis in Australia, people paying big rents and mortgages to live here. Also the cost of living in general is high, still there is always a way and if your single it would be easier. I feel lucky to own a home here and not have to worry about it, good luck.
I’m from Perth mate and travel to Thailand every year, I earn good money here and couldn’t imagine trying to get work over there and have a good life?? You could work the mines here in Western Australia for a few years and have enough money to not have to worry about working.
Always check the policy 😳 especially if you plan on riding a scooter without a proper license. International licence with a motorcycle licence stamp is a must now days or you might be very sorry.
