I just started looking into this as I have a few properties in the UK and my finances are complicated to say the least. My basic understanding thus far is no CGT up to 2015. CGT on increase in value after 2015 to the point of sale (can't remember if this applies to all properties or only to those properties that are not your home). You have to pay taxman within a certain period of time after selling your home. I think it is 90d. I imagine the taxman will be aware that you have sold your home given that Land Registry/Local Council will need to know as well as potential reporting requirements from 3rd party agencies. It probably will not cross their radar initially but it may do in the future. I have just been contacted by the taxman suggesting I owe him tax (I don't). I can only assume he got his information from an enquiry I made of my local council about 3 years ago. This is possibly linked to a phone call my sister received a few years ago asking if I lived at her address (I don't but I use it as a correspondence address). The UK system may be slow but there are no guarantees that they will not find out at some point. If you have cut all ties with the UK then this probably will not matter.

Using an Agent may be the quickest option. Never used one directly so no idea of cost. There are also driving schools/test centres that will do the training and administer the checks on behalf of the Thai Ministry. Then you just turn up at the Land Transport Office with the Test Centre papers and collect your Thai licence.It's a bit of a pain in that you have to sit around for 2 days to do all the theory and tests but you get a licence within 3 days.

It's ok for lightly trafficked driveways. It's primary purpose is to stop cracking so should ideally be placed in the top of the slab within 40mm of the surface. I have a degree in civil/structural engineering but my specialism is not reinforced concrete design. I just know enough to be dangerous. Hope this helps.

I use Komoot to plan my cycling routes in Thailand. Set it for a gravel bike and it shows me dirt tracks I can use to avoid busy roads. It is reasonably accurate for Thailand. There is an option to provide feedback on the routes so that the maps can be updated. It is free but you can also get an enhanced version for a one time payment of about 40 euros I think. Google maos is good for minor roads but does not cover off road tracks to the same extent as Komoot. Komoot also gives you a profile of your route showing the % grades - good for replanning to avoid steep hills. p. s. I also have a Varia radar for my bike. Expensive but the best investment I have made for cycling on the roads of Thailand.
