I very much doubt it. Completely different (understaffed) Govt. depts. Left hand usually doesnt know what the right hand is doing.

Sak Nak nearest and easiest to try, then if no go, carry on to Udon. I think Udon would be aware of the latest rules and are, I think, more user friendly. Good luck!

1) Move to the Phillipines? 2) Set up a dummy address in the Phillipines? 3) If you have family or friends you could stay with, return to the UK for a 6 months holiday , say every 5 years to get your pension updated to the current rate? 4) And following 3) possibly keep a permanent UK address with said friend or family and get index linked pension paid into a UK bank account and transferred via Wise to Thailand? Would understaffed HMRC be any the wiser?

Put in 3-way traffic lights instead of 2-way as they have done in an attempt to cut the road carnage. And look how effective that has been...555.

No need. Thailand would just roll over with its feet in the air!
