Haven't released June's yet but all figures can be found here:
Key stats
- All arrivals to Australia for May 2021: 114,520, a monthly increase of 60,620 trips
- All departures: 107,230, a monthly increase of 43,310 trips
For yourself not as big an issue as most (you don't need an exemption to escape Aus). You're main hassle is getting a flight in (business or first class best option to not get bumped) but once here and vaccinated you can just rock up to the airport for your flight out, plenty seats on the way out.
A little off topic but these figures are very misleading. They have been greatly inflated by the Australia - New Zealand travel bubble (which has been closed or is being closed for the two major states as they are back in lockdown).

Malaysia - 4th; Vietnam - 10th; Thailand - 14th. Though from the size of the sample taken I would be hesitant in placing a great emphasis on these figures / findings

That Honda jazz sits way tooo low to the ground.
it’s dangerous
rips off spoiler if you hit a bump
Honda Jazz has a ground clearance of 135 mm. Unlikely the jazz went over a whole body without someone noticing it!

It's best to assume there are a few undetected cases lingering and act accrodingly. Australia got down to 2-3 cases a day at one time. Now parts of Melbourne are in lockdown.
The whole of Melbourne is going into a 6 week lockdown as from 2100 hrs tonight thai time. A few people carrying the infection can quickly run into hundreds. Yesterday 134 new cases, the previous day 191 were recorded in Victoria, and the big concern is the number that are going to be hospitalised and will need intensive care. All borders to Victoria have been closed. As DavisH has said just a few undetected cases can have a big impact.

That's all they talk about.
It's imperative for the government to be able to track us. The idea of a special sim card didn't work, TM30 didn't work, and all the other suggestions they came up with didn't work, but now they have the apps.
We will all be safe now as they will know exactly where we are and when.
Unless of course you leave the phone at home (turned on) when you go out.

It amazes me they would consider keeping areas closed that have no known cases. What possibly could be the point in that.
Possibly not to let it in?

In between you can get very sick but even without medication you survive in almost every case with respetory
Some will die but very few. In the middle
As at 9/04/20 at least 759 people in the USA under the age of 50 have died. Not my take on almost every case you will survive. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/04/08/young-people-coronavirus-deaths/

No they get free petrol when they bring in customers at the tailor shop or jewelry...
I got scammed on my first trip to Thailand in 1996 - though I learnt from it In 2005 I was staying in Bangkok for a period of 3 months so I had plenty of time to go to where I wanted to go. Being a Cheap Charlie, I came to an arrangement with one of the "unmetered" taxi drivers - he would take me where I wanted to go for free but only after we visited a number of gem stores / tailors etc (number depended on the length of journey to where I wanted to go) - he got his petrol coupons and I got a free ride (albeit 2 to 3 hours in time!).

Why not refund her any fine she might incur if she is charging you an extremely low rate? As explained by Ubonjoe, the most the fine would be is 2000 baht.

We will do it by by land for a change. It's not too bad , 8 hours and comfortable seats where you can stretch out.
We choose the bus company with best reviews from Bangkok, Giant Ibis, directly to Siem Reap , they will take care of everything at the border. 1000 baht one way.
But if I did not get an E-visa , they would ask for $10-20 extra in fees.
Return flight with Air Asia is 6000 baht , so you'll only save 4000 baht , but still money saved that can be spent on food/ drinks. We are not in a rush .
As you have said you are not in a rush, the 1000 baht bus trip sounds excellent. For those that may not have as much time currently Bangkok Air has a Web Promotion return fare of 5,425 baht. I don't know how long the Promotion lasts.

Haha yes I have lots of space in my passport so I'm not worried about that.
Of what I can gather from this chat I don't need to get a visa for Thailand or Vietnam and I can get a visa for Cambodia and Laos at the border. I am going with STA travel in a group with a tour guide so I presume we will all we in the same boat and the tour guide will make sure we don't get scammed at the borders
Which travel group are you going with? Although most groups will say that the Visa situation is your responsibility the tour leader will check your passport at the start of the tour (normally day 1) and if there are any issues bring them to your attention and proffer advice on possible solutions. Do check on-line re Visa requirements for Vietnam - this would appear to be your only possible problem

I am almost computer illiterate, especially where "smart" cameras are concerned. Tried to take a selfie for identification purposes - gave up after a number of attempts. However, a neighbour took a photo and outcome was OK. If possible, suggest you do the same. Time to confirm was very short.
