No, you will have to buy a new PS3 in Australia to resolve the issue.

You should be fine.

Both Thailand and the UK use PAL televisions. (a format to view things ont he TV)

Both Thailand and UK use the same power plugs (the 2 prong round ones @ 220volts)

Hey thomas952,

While they may not be region-coded, PS3 consoles and games sold within the United States are going to be NSTC compliant, instead of the PAL format used in the United Kingdom and South Africa. What this means is that in order for any game to display properly (or even operate) it must be purchased from the same region of the world as the console itself - NTSC games can only be played on NTSC consoles.

Hope this helps you out.

Sincerely,
Aaron
