  1. Then you do not understand the agreement with your question . As I said earlier it has to do with portability of your pension points earned . Of course there are other advantages with the social agreement . Norway would be not paying any pension for the situation you mention . If the Australian was choosing to live in Norway then the Australian state pension fund would be obligated to pay without returning to Australia .
  2. Not the case with the Australian agreement with Norway .
  3. They can if they applied in Australia or in a country where there is a social agreement made . Thailand has no such agreement .
  4. Not much hope in that with her out of the country . The woman would need to get to Australia for being offered a pension with there draconian portability rules .
  5. You never mentioned the exit from the European Union as one of the reasons for the UK slip in prosperity . In my opinion that is the main reason and the reasons you mention are not real .
  6. What i do is cut up the furniture to a size that will fit into a 36x28 plastic bag . I do not make each bag weigh too much as the rubbish collectors will not take the bag . I avoid putting many bags at the same time and wait until the next collection days . I sometimes use stronger bags that are more costly . The collectors like that as they will recover the bags and sell them .
  7. If there was an agreement made with Thailand there would be no need to live in Australia for two years to get your pension payment .
  8. You obviously do not understand my point . Good day sir
  9. A good start would be a international social security agreement between the two countries .
  10. What happens to people that have paid into the pension scheme through taxation that can not afford to return to Australia ? There are huge holes in there draconian rules to get what you have paid for . A shame for a country that has relied on immigration for growth the past 80 years or more .
  11. Need to get onto the Australian bushwhacker law makers somehow .
  12. The 35 years is to qualify for the full pension . There may well be a minimum of years to qualify for any pension at all . If you have lived out of Australia then you must live there for two years to qualify for the pension for portability . I am not sure if you would receive a pension when you arrive back . There draconian rules apply to Australian and non Australian citizens . Australia has a number of countries they have agreements with that can change matters . Thailand is not one of them and that includes the UK . I have no desire to live in Australia to receive the pension what I paid for . They have changed the rules and are robbing thousands of people . Something needs to be done to make the Australian government to pay up .
  13. I noticed that when living in Norway that if a house went up in flames then the local gossip was that it must of been a insurance job . People have the same attitude to PTSD claims .
  14. Thank you for the reply . I have a good understanding of self leveling cement My question was if anyone has used the product in the photo which they call semi self leveling . The price for a 50 kg bag is 158 baht compared to most 25 kg bags of self leveling cement costing around 600 baht . I bought 20 bags and I will soon make a start on the leveling up a bad concrete job . If the product is working well I will of saved a lot of money .
  15. Buy a Toyota or Honda in the future. Forget German technology
  16. 20 minutes from Chiang Mai. The house has 5 short term rentals . All utilities are paid from the rental income . Slowly building a 6th unit for rent. Rental income is a good hedge against a stronger baht.
  17. I live for far less than 600,000 baht . Well under 200,000 baht . I have 600,000 baht in pension income plus i have income from rent . The property is unincumbered . Rental income covers all electricity and any improvements .
  18. It does take time to get an answer from Genecards regarding the alleged German .
  19. I use Lavada very often as it saves me explaining to a shop what i want to buy . My most recent purchase and the most expensive buy was a Grundfos pressure pump CMB 46PT24. The local stores were wanting 23900 baht for the pump . Ordering on Lazada the price was 18900 baht with the freight . Pump works very well .
  20. The host is annoying the guest .Airbnb will remind the host of his or her obligation as being a Airbnb host.
  21. Airbnb avoid bad publicity . This post is bad publicity for people considering using Airbnb when in Thailand. I have been hosting now for 3 years and always obtain a TM30 for foreign guests
