Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
UK nearly the same as USA, BUT employers aren't that charitable, assume their 10% comes from you getting a lower salary. -

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
And no rise! I read the whole thread. If you leave again, your pension reverts to the very first payment amount, ie pre frozen, with no increases. And you have somewhere in the UK to stay for 6 months? Is the UK affordable? And the cost of the return flight? That alone will hardly be covered by any rise you'll see while back in the UK. Is it really worth it? Return flight to Philippines about 6,000 THB. Ring the DWP. Tell them you've moved there. Pay pension into Wise account. YMMV and I would expect you to spend at least 6 months there...I'm not advising breaking any laws. It's only a suggestion which probably won't be useful to many. Like tax avoidance for the rich. It's not tax evasion. There's a huge difference. -

Wife and Mistress Fight, Husband Intervenes and Injures Wife
Take a look at the scene in Pattaya and Phuket as well as Bangkok. The many ones are holding hands with something much younger. If you come to Pattaya as a 42 year old Thai woman, you need a lot of luck to land something. Usually a person close to death or with financial difficulties. -

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
This is a really poorly written article in many ways. I thought people had lost access to their pensions. And how does not getting a yearly increase leave people living "hand to mouth". Geez! -

All near 20% paid by you for your entire working career. No employer match? In USA employees pay about 7.5 % and employer pays another 7.5 %. 15 % into the coffers. At retirement age and withdrawing it is taxed by the federal government (80%). Medicare payments are also deducted from SS payments. Payments are subject to COLA (cost of living adjustment) when given. -
