Probably another 7 days to go yet??? Good time to stay in doors for two weeks and watch the box while all these idiots give Pattaya a bad name ???? 

I had a Bangkok bank account for 6 years, 2016 left Thailand for a 2 year stint in Australia, thanks Centrelink, returned last year expected the atm card to be canned, and a visit to the bank.. but no problem card worked fine

This has been in force for years national parks, water falls etc. so when thai people obtain a visa and come to let’s say Australia maybe they should pay for entry into places that charge a fee, and we be allowed to enter for free? Yeah not likely. Same as a local market I went to some time ago with the Thai mrs. she bought a pineapple got it chopped up etc 40 baht, it tasted lovely so I went on my own to get another same size, she said 65 baht? I called the mrs over who had a go at her oh sorry she said I make mistake, I couldn’t help myself I said come to my country everybody pays same same not farang price and Thai price

They should have known better. Nothing is free not even -no cover charge- as it fronts for what comes next.

Why didn't they ask for a menu.?

I had lunch on the beach with some Thais in Rayong ,atleast we had a table and bench.

Only reason I agreed to eating on the beach was because I wasn't paying. Lol

Bill  for 3 or so basic rice dishes,  a fish plate and a couple of Singhas630 ml bottles 2000 b thereabouts.

Waste of money.

Her name says it all Miss Prawn??

Cha am and Huahin are both complete rip-offs with the food served on the beach. Run mafia style with municipality and police not giving a shit. 

Same as all the annoying flower sellers that annoy you day and night run by the same people. Using kids that are told sell or else

Why?

I got told face to face that no o/s travel at all during the two year ban or all gets squashed.i asked about time away being added on she said no re apply all over again and it may take possibly 4 months

500 baht fine should be 5,000 and take her licence for a few months oh if she had one

I've read and heard what 4MyEgo said.

 

That if you go away on holidays whilst doing the 2 year sentence, the time you're away gets added on.

Incorrect

Yes you have to be an Australian Resident when applying for the AAP, and BE PRESENT IN AUSTRALIA when making the application, meaning you have to be living in Oz when making your application, Centrelink must be satisfied that you are an AUstralian Resident, i.e. make sure that you haven't just returned from abroad to get the AAP and then disappear after the 2 year waiting period to have your pension made portable, if you had been living overseas prior to your application being submitted.

 

If your friend has lived in Oz for 2 years prior to getting the AAP and is approved, he/she can leave Oz at anytime and the pension is made portable, the only thing that gets reduced on the AAP is the subsidies, like electricity, etc etc, pension and or seniors card get cancelled when you are out of the country for more than 6 weeks, and get reinstated when you return, however have to reapply for the cards. 

 

If your friend is returning from abroad and applies for the AAP, and is approved, he/she must sit it out for 2 years, if he/she leaves during that period, Centrelink will apply the stop clock to the 2 year period, ad can even make him/her reapply if they feel he/she is trying to live overseas as a non resident.

Yes correct as I mentioned in my post yesterday if you are serving a two year ban to travel that is what it is. If you travel take a number and re apply all over again which they can slow down the process if they wish

Double check the mileage check service book big time as too easy to rewind the clock I found that out years ago in swampy when looking for a used pick up. Speedo showed 65,000 kms but I found a receipt under passenger seat for 2 tyres. Speedo reading 105,000??. Bought a Isuzu highlander diesel turbo. Wouldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding, useless on hills, had turbo etc checked no problem? Would look at a Toyota if I were you

You're OK mate, when you get to OZ go into a medicare office and they will organise a replacement. You have to be out of OZ for 5 years before it presents a problem - even then you will be OK.

 

You just fell into the "renew" trap - you (usually) MUST be in OZ to renew.

Yes u will be fine I was away for 6 years all good

I lived in Thailand for 6 years never lost my Medicare, i returned applied for old age pension waited 4 months to get it, they were concerned I wasn’t staying in Aus, then advised I could not leave the country for a day or week or month for the two year period. As soon as this was served I completed an online permission to trave form put in dates etc went to thail for just under a month all good immigration advise them when I returned. Have been in to have a chat with them re change of address etc I asked do I need to advise them each time I travel is they said yes just advise online. But yes they told me if I left aus during the two year ban my pension would cease and I would have to go through the whole process agai. Hope this helps

After explaining to my Thai gf that the husband and boyfriend of a 50 year old Thai woman had fought over her and both died...she asks innocently...who was at fault here?
