Gregory Johnson yes. I assume you know what government entitlements and benefits you have in your home country?

Your wife doesn't know?

most people?

@Jon *****

It's usually easier to get legally married in your home country and then have a traditional cermomy in Thailand.

You won't get health insurance cover for a pre-existing condition. It's one of the first questions they ask you when you buy an insurance policy.

David Broadfoot my understanding was Australia and Thailand had the licence treaty. I'm sure I've seen it somewhere, but am struggling to find it. Things may have changed? I do know you can drive in Australia with a Thai licence as long as you are not a permanent resident of Australia. Once you become a PR, you are required to get an Australian licence.

David Broadfoot interesting to hear. I regularly hire cars from the airport using my AU licence and was told it's OK. I'll look into it some more. Thanks! I found this. Not sure how accurate it is?
