Yes mate. I holidayed in Samui for 5 years before moving there and buying a bike. I had been riding them since I was sixteen but thought it better not to ride in Samui until familiar with the roads and traffic there. Still dropped the bike a couple of times due to loose gravel on the road but made sure I did not hit anything.
When travelling with the wife we go through the Thai citizen area together. Would be interesting to know if the pink ID is sufficient if travelling alone.
Thanks, it was 2 years ago that I tried. As I said before had to go to a branch to get it done.
Maybe CBA are upgrading themselves. They also now have competitive AUD-THB transfers with no fees, the opposite of what they were before.
That is interesting. Are you receiving the net codes on an Australian number or a Thai number. I could not set up net codes for a Thai number with CBA. Actually it was difficult to do with an Australian number and required a visit to a branch.
With regards to the insulation foam on the underside of the metal sheeting, you could have some problems with discolouring and breakdown after a few years if you use a cheap one. We have just built a garage and used the insulated sheeting that had a lining under the insulation. Probably more for cosmetic reasons but looks a lot better that the exposed insulation.
Large windows on all sides will mean that it is not energy efficient even with being open.
" from home" do you mean through the Embassy here in Thailand with the passport sent to a Thai address or online in Oz and sent to an Australian address. I need to renew mine before the next extension so clarification would be much appreciated.
I have been advised that there is no such thing as a Notary Public (like they are called at home). You need to pay a lawyer to certify signature/documents. No idea if Immigration would accept that.
