Is there a way of transferring my Australian aged pension to a Thailand Bank account " yet to be opened" from my already existing ANZ bank account.
thanks, Barry.

I would think you could open a bank account in Thailand at maybe Bangkok Bank and do an international wire xfer. You could use your ANZ atm card to get cash from any atm until your new Thailand account is open then you could use your BB atm card . Not sure if that is workable for you or if you're looking for a way to deposit pension directly. Maybe some other Aussies here could share what they do to xfer monies. Good luck.

Thanks for that advise

Actually you can have your Australian pension wired straight here by the Australian Govt.
They won't do bank transfers but they will wire transfer to a Thai account.
International Living has a lot of helpful information try them.
