Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
All category 1 sates is "income from personal services rendered to employers"! (I assume they mean rendered by employers and not to) How can a state pension be related to employment? -

Crackdown on Sukhumvit Beggars Reveals Hidden Wealth
A similar experience in Phuket back in 1986. I was highly suspicious and never gave anything. The following year he was there again, still making gains from the gullible. -

Proof of address?
Exactly this, never tell them more than you need to as the results can be VERY unpredictable unless their English comprehension level is very good - and it's usually not. Once I was ordering a toasted sandwich and asked them to make it with white bread instead of brown bread. Same sandwich just different bread. Instead of getting the tuna / cheese melt on brown bread as listed on the menu I got a club sandwich on brown bread instead. I just ate it and it was indeed a tasty sandwich but I learned a valuable lesson that day - only ever speak the bare minimum unless it's completely necessary. -

Update to my Rant earlier today
Initially Thai immigration wanted the embassies to do "income verification" UK, USA, AU instantly said No Way Hose. Thai then dropped the verification. Response: Nup. FWIW: I had a chat with an Oz lady working at the embassy. I asked about this and (according to her) Oz embassy was basically providing a statuary deceleration. Think USA use word affidavit. Anyway she stated those can only to used for purposes inside Australia. So the story went. -

Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
I am not disputing that! I was quoting from an earlier post regarding; https://iao.bangkok.go.th/storage/files/Personal Income Tax.pdf You are not quoting from the same document I was referring to! -

Help & Suggestions please as next year I will have no UK address
@phetphet Thank you for all the good advice. I do have one good friend that I can totally trust and he has already helped me in the past with receiving my letter post as he lives very close to my house. Next year if all goes to plan I will not have a house. My friend has a large family and usually very busy, I think he would continue to help but he is also thinking of downsizing to a smaller house. I have done a lot over many years to minimise my possessions, in todays digital world you don’t need many physical items. Next year I will be opening some new bank accounts while living in my house and getting it ready to sell, these banks will have no physical branches. I will have no need for UK debit or credit cards, over the last few years I have only used my credit card to buy my house insurance. Thanks a lot for your comment about Driving Licence, next year I will also renew it. Last time I renewed it online I used my UK credit card but I guess a bank transfer would be OK and I do intend to have a Wise card. Now thinking about I will not be concerned if I cannot renew my UK driving licence as I don’t intend to visit the UK after my house is sold. I also now have a Thai Driving Licence. So another item I not need 😊 I was aware of keeping a UK address with all my UK banks, mostly why I am doing this address planning. Thanks for the comment, I might ask my friend if he would mind me entering his address at a couple of banks. Concerning your UK driving licence. I renewed mine while I was in Thailand a few years ago. I did it all online I think at www.direct.gov.uk/DrivingLicence DVLA processed it and sent me an email. At that time I had a UK address. I had no trouble at all but there might have been some automatic checks that I passed and you may not? It might be worth you trying if you haven’t already.
