Thanks for all this info Mike, really appreciate the effort you have put into it. Unfortunately, i am still a little confused, I get a uk state pension, and a small norwegian state pension, both of which I pay tax on in each country. As the UK and Norway have DTA with Thailand, will I have to pay Thai tax on any money I bring into Thailand from either pension. I only transfer money as needed apart from housekeeping for my Thai wife, usually from an ATM. Apologies if this has already been asked, but have been unable to read all 13 previous pages, only the first 6.
