IKEA mattresses are odd sizes. They may not fit your bed frame.

Stay away from the disco biscuits. The authorities here do not like purple pee!

There was a number on the failed delivery slip. My wife called and arranged a time for re-delivery. No signature was required, so i don't know why the letter was not left in our post box in the first place.

Agreed. Especially as you are giving a Christmas tip to a Buddhist. Are you guys also giving tips at Songkran and Chinese New Year?

I had to block my Thai credit card while i am out of the country. KTC have just sent me a new one. However, Thai post has left a note at my home saying i have to collect it from the branch. Does anyone know if my wife can collect it on my behalf?

So, in your experience, if a customer has an address in 2 countries would either be accepted under the "know your customer" situation? The reason I ask is because I currently live in company provided accomodation and do not receive any bills and do not hold a bank account here as my salary is transfered to a UK account.

I have just applied to Lloyds International and they have asked for certified ID and Proof of address that would be be very difficult to complete in my current location. By the way it is a Jersey based account.

Opening UK bank account-non tax resident

Yes. I have been out of the country for for more than 20 years and i spend less than 16 days per year in the UK. All of the HMRC tests indicate that i am a non tax resident. https://www.gov.uk/tax-foreign-income/residence -
Opening UK bank account-non tax resident

Not a tax resident of anywhere. My current account has zero % interest. Creating an account in the UK could be more trouble than it is worth. Barclays could close an account of a non resident. Then i have to find an accountant to deal with my tax responsibilities. Probably not worth the hassle when i could open an offshore account. -

All banks are required to do this. It would seem that non UK residents can open an account, but you would need to speak to the bank first. Remitted money from a tax free country will not be taxed. However, the interest in accrues is taxable. This makes things messy. I think the best option is to open an offshore expat account and not get caught up in the HMRC bureaucracy. -
As the title says, not possible to buy Skype credits, only a subscription. Any alternatives for calling landlines?

Barclays 1 year bonds are giving 3.9%. I may look at the application process in the app to see if they ask any questions.
