    One of the oldest local customs is peeing on the beach.

    Not easy to compare East with West in this regard. Lao kao aside, Thailand's sky high rates of liver cancer often involve history of hepatitis, plus there are dietary factors such as dishes like koi plaa which causes liver flukes.

    This depends on how many years have been paid in. Looks like the OP has very few years accumulated, in which case those pre 2016 years would certainly count. It is as you say a bit of a minefield, and important to get specific information from the Future Pensions Centre on qualifying years for each individual case.

    Well worth the investment. The cost of funding a full state pension is around a quarter of a million pounds on current annuity rates. Any NIC's paid in are recouped within around 3 years after pension age. On the downside the pension is frozen if living in Thailand, and pension reforms (means testing etc) may happen in the coming years.

    Did you find anything? Looking here as well for calls to UK, with credit based top up rather than subscription.

    Maybe weed as well, some of which could certainly be described as having a "musty odour".

    Could have done without that second photo...

    True, but I'm comparing it to the table in the OP which refers to new state pension only (£185.15pw in 2022/23). Although it compares miserably with other European countries, the UK state pension has actually doubled in the past 10 years (£115.95pw @ April 2015, £230.25pw @ April 2025).

    That looks like the 2022 figure, it's currently £958.53, rising 4.1% in April.

    Maybe the guy had tried to talk his gf into having a threesome, and she agreed, "with one condition"...

    420 is quite a precise number. It's almost as if this idea was hatched under the influence of the devil's lettuce...
