I am trying to setup a transfer of money from my Australian Bank to my Thai Bank, normally I use Wise but have decided to try direct from my NAB Bank to one of my Thai Banks. In setting up the receiving bank details using my online Aus Bank account I would like to know what address for the Thai Bank to put in. My Thai Bank is in Robibnson in Surin so, do I put down the head office address and the Thai Bank Swift code for that office? I do not know my local banks branch code. I am worried that if I send the money to head office I will be charged a transfer fee to send it to Surin.

Which Bank mate? I'm with National and use Wise for my monthly transfers of around $AU6,000. I have the option of doing a larger transfer every 3 months or so, perhaps I should look at using my bank. How much do you bring in each transaction? Thanks.

Good riddance.

It's definitely true WileE. My wife has family in the perp's village. The poor victim had to have his funeral at the Temple and not at his home as per normal funerals and itwas over in a day which is certainly some sort of a record here.

The murder happened around the corner from my place and there are several discrepancies. The perp had only been out of prison for a day, she wanted money from her brother to buy Yaba, the brother refused and he's now dead. The victim had been a monk at our local temple for at least 10 years and only recently left to help his and the perp's mother who was bedridden. Another victim of the drug epidemic.

What a freakin' embarrassment to Aussies, FFS toughen up you pathetic gimp. This sort of behaviour is what's wrong with our once great nation, don't be a snitch and move on. I suppose he voted Labour in the recent election.

I read in the Australian press that the Major had tried to access another death insurance policy that was knocked back, he benefited from one other policy but failed with the second. I also read that new botanical science is being used as evidence.

New evidence that was not available before has been found as well as advances in scientific analysis, also new witnesses have come forward. It takes a long time to get all the pieces together. The Police decided against extradition as they knew he would eventually visit Australia, once again possibly due to a family friend. Have you never heard of a cold case?

I really don't understand why the English Army is making this request and, as a consequence, slowing up your son's application. Have you called them out on this? My knowledge of the Thai conscription method is that your son would need to be living in Thailand at the time of his conscription and have an address where the papers can be sent. Your son has neither so just forget about it provided the UK Army can.

My son is in a similar situation. He is in the final stages of joining the Australian Army. He has passed all interviews and assessments and is just waiting for his enlistment date. He was born in Thailand and has lived here for 16 of his 19 years. Fortunately he did 3 years through his High School of the Territorial Defence Program which is run by the Thai Army with his school. It is basicaly being an Army scout, he went on training camps and various other tasks. Completing this service exempts him from the conscription process and the Aus Army has not asked for any proof of this. This information probably does not help you but, I have learned that the conscription process is handled at a local level and I suggest your wife should start making inquiries about this at her Amphur. We are in a rural village in Surin Province and my wife has been dealing at the local level with the Army.

Thank you all for your replies. @DrJack54 I meant the pass was just ignored.......by the smart gate.

I have a Thai Wife Visa extension. I returned to Australia the other night and used the smart gates to leave. I just realised that there are no exit stamps now in my passport and my re-entry permit is just sitting in the passport. Have I done the wrong thing by using the smart gates and will I be allowed back in under my existing extension?

I may be wrong but you probably have osteo arthritis like me in my right knee. I have seen a few different specialists about it and had most of the cures from Mobic pills to injections. I have seen several ortho surgeons and it's just a merry go round of advice. You could probably find the best advice online as, short of a knee replacement, you will go through lots of appointments and lots of meds. What age are you and had you had any previous damage to the knee? Over the course of 45 years I had 3 arthroscopic operations on my knee and it is now nearly bone on bone in the joint. I'm 70 and am not interested in a huge operation and rehab period getting a new knee so I am managing it with Tiger Balm, exercise and pain killers.

What a sook, a real Aussie would have just moved on from it quickly not go crying to the Fuzz.

Like who? I'm open to any opinions on the next best service. I think I'm experiencing some problems with speed of delivery this morning through Wise, still waiting and it's been 2 hours.

Not really as I outlined in my reply, if you read it fully instead of jumping straight in to bash a contributer, I have other options and said Bank was failing in other areas of service. Don't know why you want to go off topic just for the pleasure of attacking someone and clogging up the topic with <deleted> comments.

I'm Australian, live in Thailand have a K Bank account and also received this very annoying and confusing email. I also have accounts with other banks and received nothing like this from them. The Forms all appear to reference the US fairly regularly in their questions so, hopefully, it's just aimed at US citizens. I may cancel my K Bank account as, since I have opened accounts with other banks, found that I prefer to use them.

At last an answer to my simple question without going off sprouting irrelevant crap that I already knew. Thanks.

All your comments are still not relevant to my question. Also it is irrelevant how many times prior to now he has travelled to Australia.

He has done 3 trips to Australia using the same details as I outlined, first being in 2006, second in 2009 and third in 2019. Your comments are not relevant to my question.

Read what I said, I had to be present or sign a form when he got his first, second and third Thai passport as I was a parent. It's the same if you apply for a passport for your child from your home country, the mother has to sign/agree etc on a form. I got his first Thai passport when he was 6 months too but had to sign a form or be present to sign the form. I was told as the passport office at Buriram that he was not considered an adult until 19 so I had to agree/sign for his passport as his father.

There is a slight variation in his christian name, namely the English version uses his first initial as a Ch and his Thai version has it as J. Same as my wife's different versions of her first name in Thai, her ID card has W insted of V and her passport has a V. Go figure?

Because here in Thailand he needed both parents to be present when he obtained his Thai passport at 18 years old. Being 18 in Thailand does not mean that you are an adult, for a start, they can't drink in pubs or, possibly vote.

At some time in the next couple of months I will be taking my 18 year old son with me to Australia. I am married to his mother and live with her and our 3 children. He has dual citizenship and passports for both countries. He will be 19 mid January and we may take the trip after he turns 19. We will be returning and will, most likely, have return tickets. My question is, will I need a letter from his mother giving permission for him to leave the country with me or similar?

Listen here you ah, ah, Wombat, I can't get them here in lower Issan. Good idea though, save bending my arm twice a day. Imagine the carnage I could do to myself if I had access to 150 mg single doses
