K bank E-mail with Tax Forms attached ?
Lots of 'honest' expats telling their UK banks they are in Thailand. Lots of 'honest' expats telling the TRD they are living in Thailand, and the TRD will pass that info onto their UK banks. -

'Deception and denial': Voter views reveal dark truth about Trump's 'mandate'
What you call the 'mess [Dems] have inflicted on the country' is what others call growth and low unemployment. To remind those who truly need reminding: Biden inherited 6.8% UE and a Recession. US growth since 2020 is running 3 times the average of G7 nations. UE is ~4%. Name a country that has done better since 2020. 45, soon to be 47, inherited a growing economy and 4.8% UE from Obama. He was a disaster in terms of the economy, and FAILED---in 4 years, with 2 of those years accompanied by a Republican House and Senate---to get an Infrastructure Bill passed. Biden got it done with bipartisan support. Oh, and 45 was the first President since Herbert Hoover to leave office with fewer Americans employed than when he took office. Those enamored of Hoover will probably love 47. If failure and economic decline is what those in the cult want again, I have no doubt 47 will give it to you in spades. The guy failed 6 times trying to run businesses---casinos---where losers actually stand in line to give you their money, yet he could not pull that off. The self-proclaimed 'successful businessman' is only not pouring Slurpies in a 7-11 on an Interstate highway because his daddy not only gave/willed him over $500,000,000, but co-signed all of his loans back when decent banks still loaned him money (vs the SIVs using Russian oligarch money structured by Deutsche Bank, and bragged about by both Uday and Qusay Jr & Punxsutawney Eric. Admittedly, when Mark Burnett made him a Game Show Host the guy finally made some money as well as becoming a hero to the forlorn. His leaked tax returns show just how UNsuccessful the blowhard was---even with his daddy's help. His years of constant hyperbole and self-promotion---which was a running joke for years in NYC and Wall Street circles---just goes to show Abraham Lincoln was dead right: "You can fool some of the people all of the time". What his cult fails to realize is that the world has changed in ways that make unskilled human labor as cheap as last week's losing Powerball ticket, and there is absolutely nothing 47 can do to change that, other than offer false hope to those the modern world has left behind. They are about to learn the harsh reality. Two types of people were beneficiaries of the booming Biden economy: those with marketable skills and talents, and those who can never have enough, and thus voted for 47 so that they get yet more tax breaks like 'carried interest', the deficit be damned. Call this latter group the New Robber Barons, as wealth and political clout has accumulated in the hands of the elite in ways unseen since J.D. Rockerfeller, the Melons, Fricks and Carnegies. Today their names are Musk, Thiel, Griffin, Ackman, etc. They ain't you, and they ain't "the poorly educated" 47 claims to love so much, only so long as he needs their votes. Sorry if you missed out on the Biden Booming Economy. It was so easy to make money and sock it away. In fact, not only is consumer spending up, but also consumer savings. Those who can do; those who cannot voted for 47. That was the last chance to make hay while the sun shined, because it's not Reagan's "Morning in America", but as all will soon see, it's Mourning in America. The carnage is coming. Act accordingly. -

Woman and Filipino Boyfriend Hospitalised After Consuming Cannabis-Infused Cookies
What I imbibe or do not imbibe has nothing to do with you conflating the issue of these two taking a little too much of the dope cookies (with alcohol?) and people dying due to a botched backyard distillation set up. Dope won't kill a person. Methanol residue not gotten rid of in the distillation process most certainly can as we all now know. By the way this is what methanol can do and it's what dope doesn't do. Methanol intoxication (even in small amounts) is very dangerous because it can cause severe visual dysfunction (including irreversible bilateral blindness), metabolic disturbances, permanent neurological dysfunction and even death https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4222078/#:~:text=Methanol intoxication (even in small,and even death [1]. -

Return flight more than 60 days after departure
You should be fine. You can refer them to the current IATA advice which states; "Visa Exemptions: Passengers with a British passport traveling as tourists or on business for a maximum stay of 60 days. Extension of stay possible for an additional 30 days." -

Yep.....2 UK bank accounts plus WISE should see you OK. That said, surely MOST people living in Thailand have a relative or friend who will provide an accommodation address.
