TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around finding solicitors in Bangkok who can help with creating a valid will for UK citizens. Recommendations include Siam Legal International and various online services. There is also a discussion about the validity of a UK will once relocating to Thailand, confirming that a UK will remains valid unless a new will is created.

Does anyone know if my UK Will would still be valid when we move to Thailand or should I have another one drawn up when settled in Thailand?

Then I suggest you stick with a U.K. lawyer or do it through online guidance yourself. Signed in front of witnesses it’s valid in the U.K.

, Your will in the UK is valid regardless of where you live. It is only cancelled out by a later will.

There are online services that would make it easier and cheaper. But I'm not an expert. Just 2 cents worth

I got my UK solicitor to send me my will by email. I signed it with witness x 2.

Sent it back to UK keeping a copy for myself.

You can get free guidance on the UK Age Concern website .
