What Travel Insurance and Medical Checkup Options Do Australians Use for Thailand?

Travel Insurance Medical Checkup Tourist Visa

Mar 22, 2020

ORIGINAL POSTER

Long term resident with a couple of questions...

So my situation is, I am Australian and have resided in Thailand for the last 15 years, I have a wife and 2 kids there. Up until last December i had a work permit and marriage visa.

I let that lapse and I will be returning to Thailand mid May on a tourist visa.

Questions are: 

What travel insurance are Australians using with the minimum 100,000US dollar excess for Carona Virus? 

Where are people in Australia getting medical checkups from? I am reading the Thai authorities want medicals from a hospital, but I imagine they would be too busy to do that crap, is a GP good enough?

This page is for Thai Visa advice, not where in Australia can I get a medical certificate. Sorry, try some Australian pages to get information.
