Take a look at a free service called livenettv.bz it works pretty well and most of the time I can access all Australian channels (amongst many others) You can put the app on your phone if you have Android and cast to your tv (your phone becomes the remote) or I suggest getting a Firestick and putting the app on there. Works a treat.

I don’t get why people continue to use a third party website to book a flight online when you can book direct? It would save so much risk of miscommunication

Plenty of long tails on the beach too

Use Wise, best rates most of the time

@George ********

how’s your Turkish then chief? 🙄

I’m in the same situation, I’m 52 and my wife is 42. After much research and advice from members her and on the Thai Visa Forum I’ve decided to apply for the OX retirement (5year visa) from the Sydney consulate, once granted they will sell a Non O visa to my wife which after 60 days in Thailand we can go to immigration and have her visa connected to mine. Hope that helps.

@Tod ********

you are a legend, thank you for the clear explanation. Very much appreciated, many thanks. If you are a beer drinker the next round is on me if our paths cross in the LOS.

@Tod ********

Thanks Tod, one more question (hopefully my last ;). If I arrive on an OA/OX obtained in Sydney and my wife gets her Non O, also from Sydney what is the process once we land? Do we get stamped in at the airport and move straight to 90 days reporting or have I missed a stage?

@Tod ********

And provided the OA or OX is multi entry you can come and go during the duration of the visa??? Is that the correct assumption?
