I was looking during the week, Thai have very limited flights from Bangkok, but we were seriously considering Singapore or Finnair.

As you say if you fly via the UAE you would have to quarantine at your own expense at a hotel, any non Brits who may be traveling with you wouldn’t be allowed into the UK if they intended to travel via a red list country.

There are rumors circulating that Thailand might be raised to a red zone, but that is just a rumor.

Should you qualify for Immigration Detention, rooms in Immigration Removal Centres are free. ????

All the current advice is here, things can change at short notice though.

Thailand is currently listed as Amber, that also could change either way, also at short notice.

But I don't think you can register at the moment.

If you're over 75 I think you can register at Bang Sue station

A bank statement with address from her Thai bank is usually accepted by foreign financial institutions.

That's certainly what my wife has used, she just popped into her Kasikorn branch and got a statement printed off and stamped, that was accepted by our bank in the Isle of Man.

There’s a dedicated dump near 112 where all the refuse trucks park overnight so where’s the panic ? 

Have you driven along Soi 102 lately?

Pensions paid to people living here are not eligible for the annual increase

That statement is only partially correct, whilst the the UK State Pension is not increased in line with inflation for those living in some countries, including Thailand, the rules for other pensioners may well allow pensions to be increased globally in line with inflation.

For instance, I’ve receive annual increases on my Civil Service Pension, and have done so before you moved to Thailand over twelve years ago.

I mention this as the OP is in receipt of a small Civil Service Pension, and maybe concerned by your response.

Hi ubonjoe, where did you move it to?

It's moved to here.

Your Personal Allowance will be reduced by the amount of your State Pension, and taxed by MyCSP.

I'm not sure how Canada Life will tax you, is it an annuity, is it from the UK?

I suspect they'll tax you at the emergency rate, ie on all of it, and then you'll have to reclaim any overpayment, but that's really an (un)educated guess.

There you should enter your ID number which is in a yellow book or a pink ID!
As you told you have 6 and many 0's mean this is not a legitimate number. Therefore you can't check. I would guess something went wrong.

As I said there was an ID Number printed on my appointment slip, I presume that's a number the hospital generated.
When I used it I received a reply saying I'm registered, albeit without confirming that the actual  vaccination date I'd been given back in May would actually go ahead, at least I know I'm in the system.

There is an 13 digit ID number on your appointment slip, if you have one, mine started with a six and a number of 0's.

Nonsense response removed.

I get this when I check.

You have registered but .... you are not eligible for vaccination!!!
Will be vaccinated in the next round after more vaccines
Please check in through the system again.

I registered on the 31 May, no bulletin yet.
