Thanks for all replies.. the bottom line is I made an assumption that I wouldnt be able to use a retirement visa in Thailand as Aus govt would consider that I was retiring in Thailand and therefore wouldn't allow tax res in Aus. I'll go with the retirement visa next time. Cheers.

You are probably right but if it looks like you are 'retiring' in another country the Aus tax dept might see that as dulpicitious... the 180 day rule is only one criteria .. and you can spend less there if you are complying in other ways.. ie, showing that you are only leaving for a holiday, not to retire. I'm jsut being careful I guess.
