British press support UK pensioners losing out in Thailand
Liverpool Lou replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
As I pointed out It varies from country to country and there seems no logic behind it - what do you see as "specific"? The countries that have the agreements are specific, selected by the governments specifically, they are not chosen at random! -

Obviously, you have no idea what "random" means, then. -

I do not agree with our not receiving the increases but we pay in for the UK state pension and it's associated increases to receive it whilst we're residents of the UK. Governments have always made it clear that those deciding to reside in certain overseas locations will not get those additional benefits, it has never been a secret, so those choosing to live in non-qualifying countries, despite the disadvantage, are paying in to receive only the basic pension once they leave the UK. The downside of no increases has always been common knowledge and well-promoted on the government websites. It may not be considered to be fair but we all have the choice before we relocate. -

"...it’s a matter of the greed of the wealthy..." What's that supposed to mean? What is the "greed of the wealthy"? -

The difference is that those residential arrangements would be legitimate as opposed to those pretending that they live in the Philippines. -

And still have your pension paid to a Thai bank? That may raise a red flag in the DWP that you may have to explain to their satisfaction. The proof of life certificate of a British "Philippines resident" coming via Thailand Post is something else that you'd have to have a good explanation for. -

No, it is not "a bit random", it is very specific. -
Those with holiday arrangements on the other side of the world probably aren't going to have a problem paying their electric and gas bills!

The thousands of Europeans who are here already, and whose numbers are increasing, don't appear to agree with your friends.

Whatever happens to it the Patpongpanich family will never be too bothered. They can unload the area anytime for billions ($).

What? From the OP... "We moved to Thailand a year ago and stayed in Chonburi and now we’re relocating to Bangkok".

"Rich driver who deliberately blocked ambulance...." Where did the "rich driver" bit come from, it sure wasn't the headline if the original article? Doesn't take a rich man to own one of those. The model shown in the video does not cost anything like B3.3m, less than 1/3rd of that would be more accurate.

Send the OP an invitation...please.
