I've been in Thailand more than 5 years and my doctor has made no checks on me. I still recieve a regular repeat prescription and return to the UK for an annual health check. The trick is to go dark. My doctor, banks, company pension provider, DWP etc. have no idea that I'm in Thailand.
From the get go I have maintained a room in my friends apartment, with all my personal effects in it. The bed is made up and it looks lived in. If an official did a spot check, it would appear lived in by me. The friend would just tell them that I'm away on an extended holiday.
My friend opens my mail and forwards anything important to me. He also collects my prescriptions and posts them to me.
This costs me nothing as my friend is a regular visitor to Thailand (here next week) and has a room in my house. A reciprocal arrangement.
There's nothing to stop you making a similar arrangement with a family member, ex spouse, sibling, offspring etc.
I can't give too much advice on NI contributions but will say that the requirement fo a full pension is 35 years contributions. I had more than 40 years contributions on retirement but still was subjected to a small reduction because I'd opted out of SERPS many decades ago. Was told I could make it up with a lump sum contribution (equivalent of one years NI contreibutions, I think) but as I already had 41/35 years contributions, thought it a con and told them to go spin on it.
Very easy to check your current lifetime NI contributions on the government website.
A medical practice is encouraged to check on patients they have not seen in 5 years. This prevents 'ghost' patients. A practise receives money for each patient on their books so the idea of the five year check is a cost cutting exercise.

I'm too young to be considered a 'boomer'..., but I say let the hipsters and millennials spend their time and money on endless selfies and more tattoos..., I laugh in their general (in)direction and at their dummy spitting, self-entitled attitudes.
Yeah. Its pathetic. They are mard.

Pretty much an American thing.
Yeah like Coke and rap music...never heard of them. ...because they are American! Baby boomer is a very common term as is Yuppie and a whole host of words that are international though originating in America. One has too be a border line political illiterate and out of contact with world affairs for the last two decades not to be familiar with the term baby boomer. But what is more interesting is people who feel proud to announce their ignorance as if they have achieved something by NOT knowing something!

Wait for Immigration to raise the subject, they probably won’t. If they do tell them that you tried but can’t get insured because of your age. Leave it there, do not try to convince them of anything. If you do not get an extension you could ask what you should do, you are in their hands. I can not see that after fourteen years and money in the bank that any one will push the issue because there is no practical reason to prevent you extending your visa. I expect that you have always found that if you don’t upset them or allow them to paint themselves into a corner, Thai people can be very accommodating and understanding and the older you are the better.
Your last paragraph regarding Thais being helpful is usually true. Good advice. The OP might consult an agent. My agent is also an insurance agent.

Thailand's problem? Governance.
The author makes several good policy points and recommends actions that could (and probably should) be taken, but it matters little unless the issue of Governance is dealt with.
Thailand needs a legitimate, inclusive, demand-responsive government that caters to the needs of its peoples rather than to a small elite.
It is that simple.
Clean up corruption. Greatly reform and enhance Education. Create a reasonable social-safety net that isn't able to altered on the whim of the powerful. Reform the Bureaucracy with a chainsaw. Open up policy-making and put the needs of the proverbial 'little guy' ahead of the conglomerates. Reform the Judiciary. Allow and enhance the basic structures for Human Rights.
Most of all, stop the cheating in the political system.
As long as power is held by the Cheating Cheaters who Cheat, nothing good will come.
Again, it is that simple.
Make it illegal for serving military to have any role in government.

Position: IT Admin
Job Type: Permanent
Location: Pathumwan, Bangkok
Salary Range: 20,000 - 28,000 THB
Benefit: Group insurance, Bonus, provident fund, etc.
I've also done IT administration. Looks like a teaching gig would be better...
Can you teach? How many years experience have you got? Is your TEFL qualification recognised? Who issued it? How long did the course last? How many contact hours did it include? Have you sorted out your police clearance certificate?

I am not sure... I may have a sketchy NI history in the past with a lot of only part time work for about six years or so directly after university...
You can pay a backlog of 7 years if you wish. One reason for signing on the dole is to get your stamps paid. How many years you have paid by the age of 67 will determine the size of your pension. You need 35 years for a full pension.
