At the moment is at 22.33 Bt/1$Au ..on X-Rates.. It depends on how you transfer it too.. I find I get the best transfer rate using Transferwise.. others have their own favorite method.. but TW works for me.. When the Bt was at 22.80 I got 22.50 ... the 30 satang difference being for transfer charges.. as good as I can get I think.. Also.. I use Visa debit card for my transfers.. slightly more expensive but very quick.. suits me.. Link to comment

I do collect the OAP and I get 1065 AUD every fortnight I get electric allowances rent allowances (sorry no phone) get cheap bus fares 2 trips on the train every year to different parts of WA free, it is not 200 AUD per year, for me it is nearly 200 per fortnight. I can't complain at all. Goody for you. I pay $20/month electricity for my condo in Chiang Rai, $400/ month rent. When you find a similar apartment in Perth with a pool to match that, let me know. I travel all over Thailand in my own car. A train trip to Balladonia and back doesn't have the same appeal. Link to comment
