Can I have UK life insurance paid out to someone living in Thailand if I die?

In the US there are financial institutions that have television commercials offering to purchase your life insurance policy. I suppose they do the math and come up with a life expectancy vs the cash value of the policy vs expected payments up till death. Since we all die someday, getting the cash at the end of life is a mathematical certainty.

The point of that is, I don’t believe you need a relative to get the value of your policy after death. The beneficiary needs to know how to navigate the claim process.

On my own, I don’t think I could do it in a foreign country unless being a highly educated person.
