Quick question. I'm Australian and would like to open a bank account in Australia. However, I have lived in Thailand years and do not have an address in Australia anymore. I have an investement fund and will probable be doing transfers, so I will need a bank account. Has anyone managed to open an Australian bank account when living in Thailand? What paperwork was required to do it? Any recommended banks I can try? Thanks..

Australia has i covered...just increase the old age pension age! Either way, I won't qualify for that, and will have to make do on earning, family and other investments.

If they're a civil servant they get a nice pension and medical care. Other professionals are likely to have a provident fund or some other kinds of investments (as well as being looked after by family). The nice thing about a civil servant pension is that you can keep working full time after 60 (not for givt though) and still get the full pension.

Why? He will get bail and be out in 24 hours. I highly doubt he will spend any significant time behind bars. We all know how this works.

I live around there. Yes the traffic is terrible int he afternoon, and I wonder why they are still using lanes to park their trucks and store construction equipment. They are slowely opening some parts of some lanes. I saw some testing of a train a month ago, but I have no idea of when it will open, but the openign keeps getting pushed back. Maybe next year or the followin year? There is still a lot of construction to do around Impact (I think I saw a sign saying that is at least 2 years away from being finished. They certainly don't seem in any hurry to finish any of it. Tivanon road is still a mess as well.

Definitely you can get 17x8 rims. Try some other shops. These are from www.tivanon.com

No idea, as the low ride tritons have to low powered motor (unlike the high riders). More "fun" would be the low rider 4 door revo with 200+hp and no traction control system...especially on those stock skinny tires.

60 is too young. Many 60 year olds still have all their mental faculties. My wife retired from government 2 years ago, but has taken another more senior position (but not srictly as a government employee). It's not like the ork is arduous like in construction. I would think many poeple can work until their are 70-75 or so.

Probably got an Elite visa and got confused, as they said he could sail through customs...he thought they said skate through customs. ????

Most places don't allow for that.

The www.windy.com shows real time rain. I would say for my location it is 98% accurate - if rain at my house it almost certainly is raining. It also shows the movement of rain, so if there is a storm front coming you can expect it, as long as it's not far away. It may break up or dissapate. It other instances, rain can start spontaneously from existing clouds. The The current situation.

Those 5% probably work for the government. My wife paid something like 160K in tax last year. I douby many businesses pay much tax at all and run separate books if they are ever audited.

Maybe you don't but I pay a lot!!

Boring AF...that's the toyota motto.

Except the top spec cr-v is hybrid non-turbo. Post some links for your second statement. It turbo engines fail, that is mainly due to abuse or poor maintainence.

www.windy.com Click "weather radar" to get the current rainfall. It's very accurate.

Take your xenophobia elsewhere you old goat.

And you have had this car exactly how long? .....most cars are fine during the warranty period. But 5-10 years down the track is when you will meet problems. Just be sure to sell it well before the warranty expires.

Or coals to Newcastle!

It's a plug-in hybrid, so not a fully electric vehicle. If EV if would still be on fire lol

Not to mention that Chinese-made batteries are made with Australian coal! Which in itself creates a carbon debt od somthing like 9-10 tonnes of carbon dioxide, even before the car has rolled out of the manufacturing plant. EVs wont truly become green until their production is entirely from renewable energy. Having said that, most don't buy EVs in Thailand becaue of their perceived greeness. They just want t save a few baht....I hope they sell their car while it still has warranty. It will be worthless out of warranty.

I don't think this car has knock sensors. I recall form the older hondas, it was th v6 model had a knock sensor. Th OP's car just needs a good service. There are many independent honda specialist garages to use for this. Avoid the main dealer.

Thai-denmark is real milk. Puse some imported brands.

Most of these kids are identified early and are trained by top teachers/professors. They are in no way a reflection of the average Thai student in regular schools (believe me, I teach them!)

Mine is actually, been c9 for many years...but the bil's are all high ranking police.
