Pure Greed, And he should know better. With that kind of Pension Pot placed in a Secure well established Banks... He could of expected 3-5% Fixed rate return P/A. Even with the naff rate of exchange... Thats a comfortable existence for life in Thailand. I assume he also has his Pension each month...which he will have to rely on now after this foolish venture,

Even Better If Thailand and Whatever Country ask folk to produce a Criminal Background check declaration. That will weed a few out. Make it Mandatory as they do applying for an Aussie Visa.

Exactly.... And How many times has this issue been posted here??? If you decide to become an Ex_Pat in a Non Incremental State Pension Nation. Don't Tell The HMRC Your Plans Keep a UK Bank Account ,GP, and Post Code.

Thais often refer to Black people as "Chocolate".... Imagine using that in Woke Western Cultures. Sticks n Stones Folks..... Moving On.

So many folks quite understandably choose to make their lives broadband become bona-fide Ex-Pats. Sadly many initiate a poor fiscal policy to sustain themselves and lifestyle, to keep the effects of inflation at bay. Those so doing and those considering doing the same, within a nation that does not enjoy the State Pension Cost of Living rise...should ensure. Maintain a UK Postal Address. UK Bank Account GP Registration. UK is fast catching up with how the authorities in Australia keep tabs on their citizens movements in and out ... Tax Investments and Pension Status.

Bring it on and the 70 Baht to the £ we had when Mr T in the chair Happy Days
