    Get a UK sim and there is no issue, they have what they want and you can get what you need, problem solved.

     

    Most phones are dual sim these days, I have a Thai sim amd UK sim in one phone. The UK number can be topped up etc and maintained online at minimal cost.

    Can you top up the uk sim in Thailand

    The criteria for residency are not the same for HMRC and the NHS.  The NHS would definitely consider you non-resident because you're not settled in the UK.  A quick check of your passport would let them see that.

     

    As for tax, state pension is not covered by the UK-Thai tax agreement, so in theory is subject to double taxation (though in practice this doesn't actually happen at the moment).

     

    I see no benefit in continuing to be subject to UK income tax and CGT.

     

    Your scheme for buying and renting out a flat in the UK to cover your accommodation costs in Thailand is a bad one.  You'll pay income tax on the income, and CGT on disposal, even if non-resident.  You'll have periods where you don't have tenants, and so no income.  Tenants may trash the place, leaving you with high repair bills.  And then there are the general headaches of being a landlord.  Better, in my opinion, to sell up completely, then invest the proceeds offshore, out of the reach of both UK and Thai tax authorities.  Use the investment income to cover your Thailand accommodation costs if you decide to rent.  Only once you're well settled in the country should you consider buying.

    And what to do when your forced out of Thailand go back to england and sleep on the street

    It's far worse now than it was in 2013. So many things have happened since then. Sadly the Thailand many of us fell in love with is long gone. Burn on Thailand....????????????

    It's a good job the people that are responsible for the burning don't have children they might think again if their kids were breathing in this filth
