A Day Later: The transfer was coded as "Trade Finance" which is exactly what is says when I transfer my monthly >65,000. So telling Wise it was for Long Term Stay in Thailand had no effect on the speed which was pdq.

There should be a handbook of rules for the pension und. Ask them for a copy and check. But I have heard of this before.

This morning I moved a few hundred pounds from my HSBC account in the UK to Wise in the UK. It arrived immediately and I had an email from Wise telling me so by the time I logged into my email account. Then I sent the same money from Wise to my Kasikorn account here giving long term stay in Thailand as the reason. The money arrived in well under a minute, probably in under 30 seconds. I don't yet know the code given to the transfer as a staement only goes up to close of banking last night. I'll have a look tomorrow and report back.

I suspect his only crime was to not pass the usual 25% of the take up the line to his boss.

Would you let any of your three daughters fly across the atlantic with somebody they have only just met?

If she had an NI number and tax code that would be true. But she has neither.

When I die my wife will get a window’s pension from my company pension scheme. We have this in writing from them But because she has never been resident of the UK she does not have an NI number which means she will be paying basic tax on the pension even though it is below the current yearly personal tax allowance for the UK. I’ve read up on the HMRC forms (Form R43 and explanatory notes) and I think she is eligible to claim the tax back at the end of the year. It would be better if she were given a tax code and the pension company just used that to apply the personal allowance on an ongoing basis, but I suspect she will have to reclaim the money early each April. Has anybody any experience of this?

Plus he's got an intermittent fault on his keyboard so it types some words in upper case.

I asked the Thai speaking farang representative to ask about donating my body to my local hospital after death. It's a teaching hospital. The rep got back to me and said they do not accept farang bodies.

Download an app called "DNS-changer" and open it and select a DNS called "No-ads". That's it. If you restart your phone you'll have to reselect "No-ads" as the app seems to get turned off upon restart.

Until the next dead tourist.

We're advanced in Isaan. Our water is linked to the electricity supply so if it rains heavily the power goes off to prevent electrocution. (At least I assume that's why there's always a bl00dy power cut when it chucks it down.)
