Help needed with one question about UK frozen state pension.
For someone new leaving UK for Asia. Spend less than the 180 days in Thailand , the rest in Philippines or wherever. I know someone who always leaves from an EU country, not sure where.No stamps in his passport.I think the problem might be with having a Thai bank account or condo/ house. Maybe not yet as the Thais are not ready . My earlier plans for retirement definitely cancelled, and my uncles plans of a retirement home also. To be honest, I get a better quality of living in France than Thailand. And free healthcare. -

Return flight more than 60 days after departure
In over 30 years of flying in and out of Asia, Europe, Africa and the US, the only time I have ever had a ticket check at the door was for a flight from the Philippines (Manila) to the US and they were doing enhanced security, so they were rechecking carry on and passports. And it was only 1 time. Never on any flight to any other destination have I ever had a ticket check at the plane door. -

Return flight more than 60 days after departure
I had a problem where I didn't have a return ticket at all and did as you suggest but I found a refundable ticket online, bought it got my boarding pass and canceled it before I left the airport, No fee needed. This was precovid so I am not sure if you can even buy refundable tickets online any more but why pay if you don't have to. -

Plan B Countries - Any Advice or Ideas ?
That may be the case of course but it really depends on how much money you 'earn' during the given year / years For example, lets say you have that house sitting there in one of the many countries where your primary residency doesn't get taxed when you sell it and you decide to sell it and get say $1.5 million US for it. Zero tax due back home, if you're a tax resident in Thailand during that year of sale then you will be taxable for the rest of your life on any of those funds that are remitted with no time limit. People will fall into this trap by accident, for example, if you sell up in March to retire and then move to Thailand an May and make the mistake of staying all year - then you're in the net and on the hook for tax on that money forever. That's a definite reason to skip a year during the selling of very profitable assets regardless of what they are. Cambodia can be done for $10k a year easily, far less or more if you like all depends on how / where you want to live. -

Khao San Road Feels Pinch as European Tourists Hold Off on Bookings - video
A lot of EU foreigners are a bit worried over th claims made by Putin and co , I know a few who have said they don’t fancy « flying in that direction at the moment ». I live and worked in one of the busiest tourist resorts in the south of France , when Iraq invaded Koweït, work suddenly became quite a bit quieter for us, even though we are far from those areas. Politics make a huge impact on tourism. I think many families will travel less long haul when prices have risen at home, tax hikes etc. I have never seen the European resorts so busy in all my professional life , packed to the rafters. Trains and budget airlines are sold a year in advance, as with easyjet for example. -
