AUD to THB currently 20.78. What do you numbers do using this exchange rate?

Shirley,prolly, offen do.

Anyone, not just a pensioner, can use the health system for free. Can't in Thailand to the same extent. My comment was comparing insurance costs Thailand v Australia.

I pay more than that for medical insurance in Australia.

And a girl in a bikini is inviting rape?

Yes. I choose to be a tax resident. I spend roughly two thirds of the year in Oz and one third in Thailand. My Thai wife works seasonally in Oz and I farm. We come to Thai January to April most years.That time of the year in northern Australia is not conducive to farming. The taxation issues are not a real concern for us. Nor is any government pension or benefits as we are well and truly above the threshold to receive anything. One house and two cars in Oz and one house and two cars in Thai. Life is pretty good.

I can't be bothered discussing the myths of roundup

Many phones are dual sim

I can assure you there is capital gains tax to be paid on investments other than property. I sold a substantial amount of shares recently. My accountant told me to be prepared for the CGT hit end of June. I am still a resident for tax purposes.

You don't get much in a 2000 baht a month fan room.

The bride has a snub nose, splayed feet when she walks and the greatest personality I have ever met. She also farts in bed and laughs her arse off,as do I. Couldn't be any happier.

Have you tried google?

No problem taking suitcases on the train. Done it many times.

Tell that my accountant. I'm sure he'll pass it on to the tax department so they can see the error of their ways.

The Moaning Lisa's come out every year. Soon to be comments about how they are flying out to avoid the madness or how they don't want to get drenched in their three piece suits while riding to work on a scooter.

Are there three kids or two? Bit confusing?

Flew Nokair dmk to buriram. Selected my seat when booking. Different seat when checking in. No big deal for a one hour flight. The bloke I would have been sitting next to in my selected seat was.......quite large. Obviously the check in people keep an eye out on things. Only an hour but not the time I'd like to spend in someone's armpit. Thank you Nok air

I guess you are like a stallion. Hand feeding it three times a day.

But not a big smell

What if it is proven that humans are the only life in the universe? Does that make us the first our kind....or the last?

Only when you grace the place with your presence.

I recall back in the good old days of ISIS that they called for (I think, could be wrong) Hajj which I understood to be an invasion into infidel territory. Seems to have worked.

Regardless of personal opinion of Trump he is currently the most powerful man in the world. Not even President yet. Everyone, and I mean everyone including Xi, Putin the militant Islamists and the North Korean dictator have all pulled back on the rhetoric. They all realize he is possibly just crazy enough to sort sh!t out. Can only be a good thing in my opinion.

Deleted my comment as off topic

Other people's hard earned cash...not his. His lifestyle is funded but Aussie taxpayers, including his regular trips to Thailand. If he gets too much pension then let Centrelink know and perhaps they will reduce it and return the money to hardworking taxpayers.
