Is it possible to have a UK Bank account while being tax resident in Thailand?
Any experience from people who have completed this questionnaire? If informing Nationwide about non residence I'm wondering what they do next.

Just read it as well. According to this Nationwide should allow existing accounts to remain open. https://www.which.co.uk/news/article/which-banks-allow-you-to-keep-your-account-as-an-expat-aIiEs1i49WTf

I noticed I have a TIN listed on one of my savings account statements here in relation to the (very low) interest rates given. Is this the same number the RD is talking about?

Staying Beyond Thailand Privilege Visa Expiry
Pretty sure TPC has sent you the correct answer here. The 5 year membership expires 3rd January, and immigration made an error stamping you beyond that date. Until a few years ago getting a 6th year out of the 5 year elite was common practice, but more recently immigration had a problem with it - I remember comments on the forum where people were warned they'd be on overstay if they stayed beyond the expiry of their membership. How much this is enforced is anyone's guess, given that immigration officers are clearly still stamping people beyond the 5 year mark. Edit. Just saw your second email response from TPC. A few years ago they were writing to members toward the end of their membership expiry warning of overstay consequences of staying beyond the 5 years. It seems like their muddled response in their second message to you shows they've since backed down from this position.

Alternatives to HomePro in Bangkok
Just installed a pretty decent kitchen faucet from Mr DIY for 299฿. The previous one was Rasland brand (from Homepro) and was leaking quite badly after two or three years. The Mr DIY one is almost identical and less than half the price - they seem to have improved their products recently.

Switching from Non-Immigrant OA to Non-Immigrant O on basis of Retirement
I did this in 2022 and completed the entire process in under two months. Visit to CW immigration the next working day after returning on 30 day visa exempt entry to apply for the Non O, and again 45 days before it expired. With the Non O (retirement) I was required to have a home visit during the under consideration period which was normal at that time, not sure if this is still required. From the date you visit the office to apply for the extension.

Thailand's 5-20 Year Visa Now a Bit Cheaper
There's at least three - LTR is under Ministry of Interior (BOI), DTV is Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Elite is owned by TAT under the Ministry of Tourism and Sports. And then immigration (under the RTP) often have their own ideas about whether to let people in or not. With the Revenue Department thrown into the mix from next year it'll be enough to befuddle Kafka.

Pattaya Heat - #1 movie on Netflix
13/3, they used the building on the corner about half way up on the right. Not a great film, but fun to spot the landmarks - big fight at Marine Disco towards the end.

UK state Pension qualifying Years.....
Keep in mind also the rates will rise after the current deadline for back payments expires in April 2025.

UK state Pension qualifying Years.....
The number of years required depends on how many years an individual was contracted out and could be anywhere between 35 and 47 years under the new state pension. Assuming the statement is correct and updated, you can buy about 1½ years more of pension before maxing it out adding £6.32 (& £3.63 for the final part year), this payment would be recouped within about 3 years of receiving the pension. If you're going to top up, use 2020-21 and 2021-22 and save 50 quid.

British tourist missing after trip to Bangkok found safe in Finland
Rookie mistake. He went out that evening looking for a lap dance and somehow woke up the next day in Lapland.
